The challenge Communicate layered historical content clearly and sensitively while guiding diverse visitors through a cohesive spatial journey.
Systems ThinkingDeveloped modular layouts, typographic scales, and repeatable components that could adapt across panels, labels, large-format signage, and digital touchpoints.
Collaboration with historians, 3-D designers and installation teams
Worked closely with curators, writers, and production teams to align narrative intent with spatial design and fabrication constraints.
Strengthened my approach to experience-led design — thinking beyond assets to how sequencing, space, and systems shape how people feel and understand.
Approach
Designed the experience as a system first — focusing on pacing, hierarchy, and wayfinding before creating individual graphics.
The result was an intuitive, emotionally resonant visitor journey where design quietly supported storytelling rather than competing with it.
