Columbia Crossings Website and Booking Experience Redesign

Transforming the marina booking experience—making it effortless for boaters to find slips, check availability, and complete reservations on any device.

Columbia Crossings manages three premier marinas in Portland—Jantzen Bay, Tomahawk Bay, and Hayden Bay—offering moorage, storage, waterfront experiences, and more. Their existing website made it hard for boaters to find slips, check availability, and complete reservations, especially on mobile.

My goal: Redesign the website and booking experience so users could quickly find and reserve slips, understand availability in real-time, and navigate the site effortlessly.

Backend constraints shaped design decisions (e.g., spacing increments for easier coding)

“ When my team hired Karina to design our UI/UX, we were pleasantly surprised by her research-based approach to designing our site, checkout process, and customer portal. Her direction, Figma wireframes and keen eye for detail were invaluable in helping my team focus on coding.Beyond creating beautiful, research-based designs for our platforms, Karina worked with me to make them modular and reusable across multiple sites. This allowed us to move quickly and reduce developer overhead without compromising the quality of our product”
