You may have heard of birding—the popular hobby of searching for and identifying birds. Field herping is the same concept, but for reptiles and amphibians. Think of it as a real-life version of Pokémon, where enthusiasts search for and document species in their natural habitats.

Unlike birders, who have several excellent apps available, "herpers" have fewer options tailored to their unique needs. I set out to change that by designing a dedicated field guide app. The app allows users to build a comprehensive life list and quickly access relevant species information.

Designing Field Herper meant balancing a vast amount of information with a clear and user-friendly experience. With nearly 20,000 species of reptiles and amphibians included, I focused on a clean, minimalist, and information-driven design style to ensure ease of use.

Species data is pulled from a community-sourced open database, allowing herpers to access accurate and up-to-date information.

This project is currently in development.
