Conservation Lens
Stocking as pressure relief.
Washington’s trout program is more than sport. Highlighting stocked waters helps anglers focus effort on managed opportunities, which can reduce incidental pressure on more sensitive native systems.
Behind Troutlytics
Mission Log
A design-forward read on Washington fisheries data.
Troutlytics started as a personal tool for making WDFW trout plant data easier to interpret. It grew into a broader thesis: public natural-resource data becomes more useful when it is readable, spatial, and emotionally legible.
Product Lens
Interface as interpretation.
The gradients, typography, map styling, and HUD cues are not there to dramatize the data. They are there to organize attention and make public records feel easier to read at speed.
