Maps are for various client projects including exterior and interior maps for the Atlanta History Museum & Main Line Health, an exterior map for Cornell University, and concept for the company website.
(Graphic Design, Wayfinding)
During my internship, I joined the team and subsequently transitioned to a full-time designer, allowing me to oversee this project through to the construction documentation phase. Throughout this period, I attended client meetings, created conceptual illustrations and 3D artwork, and supported my colleagues with wayfinding and signage tasks. Our design elements enhanced the building's atmosphere, making it more lively, engaging, and inspirational.
