NGA — Map of the World (MoW) Modernization

Reimagined task flows, architecture, onboarding, and admin configuration to reduce friction and improve decision speed in a complex multi-team platform.

Context & Scope

Enterprise geospatial platform with cross-team dependencies and modernization goals. Led wireframes/flows for core tasks (desktop/mobile, admin/user surfaces), set UX→DevOps feedback path, and introduced a scalable prioritization schema.

What I Led

• Designed centralized feedback loop routing user signals to engineering.\n• Authored data calls and questionnaires for meaningful, actionable insight.\n• Created onboarding wizard and admin theming to focus workspaces on the next workflow.\n• Facilitated leadership workshops; introduced outcome scorecards for priority alignment.

Results

Clearer task pathways and faster alignment on priorities; improved readiness for implementation.
