Project Showcase

For the special exhibition "We Are Not Strangers Here: African American Histories in Rural California and Healdsburg" we worked with the Healdsburg Museum to transform the gallery space using color, sound, and bold graphics. We worked within a tight budget and timeline to provide a canvas for 26 important community stories; the project also sets the gallery up for future temporary installations.

We created a new signage system for Historic Seattle's properties across the city, range from single family homes to commercial complexes in both urban and residential settings. The system is designed to be modular while following a standard material palette and hierarchy. Identification and interpretive signs contain space for the brand and information viewed at a pedestrian scale. 

At Thanks-Giving Square the visitor experience was redefined with clear signage in the six United Nations languages. Each of the five key attractions were given a visual icon for easy identification. Design elements include a donor wall, tactile signage for visually-impaired guests, regulatory signage, and branded messages along key journey paths.

We worked with Preservation Dallas to develop the Pegasus Urban Trail, a walking trail that highlights 50 landmarks in central Dallas. Landmarks are categorized by district so that users can visit nearby locations or follow a continuous path connecting all destinations. Collateral includes a printed map with photos and descriptions of each site along with a mobile app. 

The Mount Baker pedestrian overpass, located in Seattle's Mount Baker neighborhood, served as a venue for community engagement during the Seattle Design Festival. For two weeks pedestrians encountered inspiring stories of local citizens on banners, transforming a mundane walkway into a bridge that connected the larger community. 

"Architectural Styles of Dallas" showcased the city's design heritage with a special exhibit featuring artifacts and large graphic panels that traveled to multiple exhibition spaces in Dallas, Texas. Our team created the exhibition outline, curated objects, designed the graphic panels, and produced an accompanying guidebook published by Preservation Dallas.
