The Museum of American Heritage

Exhibition graphics were developed in collaboration with the Museum of American Heritage to support and enhance the museum’s mission of preserving and interpreting everyday American history.

Design Work

Over several years, visual systems and exhibit graphics were designed for the museum’s four most recent exhibitions. Each exhibition required a careful balance of clarity, accessibility, and historical accuracy. The design approach emphasized intuitive layouts and interpretive hierarchy, guiding visitors through complex narratives while allowing artifacts to remain the primary focus.

Each exhibition required a careful balance of clarity, accessibility, and historical accuracy. The design approach emphasized intuitive layouts and interpretive hierarchy, guiding visitors through complex narratives while allowing artifacts to remain the primary focus.

This ongoing collaboration reflects a shared commitment to history, storytelling, and public engagement, with design serving as a tool to support interpretation and deepen visitor connection to the past.
