WHAT WE DID:
Using design, technology, and architectural-scale spatial interventions, we designed a suite of new experiences that introduces and unpacks the museum’s core themes of innovation. Each experience empowers visitors to discover the multi-faceted story of American innovation and the extraordinary innovators, activists, designers, artists, and engineers who created them.

THE APP:
The Henry Ford Connect App transforms your museum visit into an exciting and innovative experience with audio tours, AR content, an interactive map, and more. I was responsible for prototyping these interactives, and working with the App developers.

GALLERY COLUMNS:
The columns are one of the first things you’ll see upon entering the museum— five motion-sensing pillars of displays that wrap around structural beams. Designed with the museum guest in mind, they are meant to start the visitor journey with excitement and encourage further exploration. The Mindset Columns introduces what innovation means to museum as well as some key characters
These are large touch screens that had a lot of UX that needed to be fleshed out. I took the sketch files and brought them to life. Attract loops, call to action, examples of touching a datapoint ect. I created a lot of geometric transitions as well.
