Amber Room
destination strategy, shaped around experimentation, evidence and transparent learning.
Amber Room is a fictional destination strategy research organisation created as Interlink Apps catalogue design 593. The page architecture translates the organisation's real operating unit — the visitor journey — into navigation, evidence, case work, people, questions and conversion rather than relying on decorative hero content alone.

07 / Questions
Is this a real organisation?
No. Amber Room is a fictional Interlink Apps identity demonstrating a production-grade website for destination strategy research.
How is delivery made measurable?
Every visitor journey carries scope, ownership, constraints, decisions, acceptance criteria and close-out evidence from the beginning.
Can this design adapt to another organisation?
Yes. Brand, imagery, terminology, sections and operating records can change while retaining the responsive, accessible information architecture.
