Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Figma helped transform the National Park Service's (NPS) iconic Unigrid brochures into a unified app for 431 parks, improving accessibility, wayfinding, and user experience. Designed by GuideOne and Twohy Design Works, the app features interactive maps, offline access, augmented reality (AR), and real-time alerts. Prototyping in Figma streamlined development, enhancing collaboration and creating a stronger connection between park visitors and staff.
