Kentucky Proud Website

Kentucky Proud, a local agricultural marketing program, was looking for a site redesign to help users find Kentucky Proud certified products across the state.

Diagonal grid of a few of Kentucky Proud's web pages. The pages included are the homepage, find products page, buy local page, filtering, and site search.

The caveat was we needed to improve these issues while also using their existing data from Kentucky Proud members.
