National Park Rangers make @zionnps come alive. The people who offer #servicedesign can make or break the experience. Ranger Jason blew us away during the Pa’rus Trail walk! #wkbnch @nationalparkservice
An iconic tradition. National Park signs have been a fixture in visitor photos since @nationalparkservice started. How can you build iconic moments in the places you design? #experiencedesign #wkbnch
Not everyone knows where to start at @zionnps but they know how much time they have. These areas help visitors decide what to do based on duration. Brilliant! #ux #servicedesign #experiencedesign #environmentalgraphics @segddesign #wkbnch
Ya can’t buy a single use water bottle at Zion Nat’l Park but refills are always free. Here, visitors learn conservation and sustainability through experience. #experiencedesign #sustainability #servicedesign #wkbnch
Flight arrived early? @delta throws confetti in the app to celebrate! Designing moments of delight makes #ux feel personal. #experiencedesign #interactiondesign #wkbnch
