Modernizing Whaler

While working as an art director at Element Three, I led the redesign of Boston Whaler's website.

Problems to solve:

  • Old site was not responsive

  • Scattered info across websites

  • Boat builder was difficult to use

  • Navigation was not intuitive


Other things I did:

  • Introduced video headers

  • Modernized the brand experience

  • Designed a flexible, easy to navigate product page template.
