I led that team, and independently designed two of the project's three components: a printed museum guide that clarifies the museum's structure and navigation paths, and the motion identity for all in-museum screens, extending the wayfinding system into digital space.

Wayfinding in Motion
Vinyl Wayfinding
The RISD Museum Guide is a printed tool designed to help visitors navigate the RISD Museum. I was the sole designer on the piece, developing it through an iterative process shaped by ongoing conversations with visitor services, security, and curatorial staff, ensuring the final map reflected both how the museum actually functions and how visitors experience it.
The guide has been in circulation since December 2025 and has been very well received by both staff and visitors. It's currently being translated into six languages to reach a broader range of museum-goers.

Alongside the print guide, I independently designed a motion system that brought the museum's wayfinding into digital space, extending it across four distinct types of in-museum screens.
Each screen type served a different purpose: from admission pricing and general information, to highlighting pieces in the collection, to live wayfinding cues. This was, in effect, bringing the static wayfinding system to life: translating a fixed visual language into something dynamic and responsive across the museum's varied display requirements.
