Inviting Discovery through Entrance Redesign
Role: Environmental Graphic Design, Production Design
Scope: I designed and produced a large-scale vinyl cling installation for the entrance of Sloan Museum's History Gallery. Using archival photography and a carefully matched color palette drawn from the existing gallery graphics, the installation extends the visual language of the gallery beyond its climate-controlled entrance, creating a more visible and inviting visitor experience.
Timeline: Summer 2025

The History Gallery is accessed through large glass sliding doors that remain closed to maintain climate-controlled conditions for the collection. While operationally necessary, the closed doors created an unintended barrier—many visitors did not realize the gallery was open to the public or that they were welcome to enter.
The project sought to increase visibility and encourage exploration by extending the gallery's visual identity beyond the threshold. Drawing inspiration from the foyer's existing environmental graphics, the goal was to create a seamless transition from public circulation spaces into the exhibition environment, transforming the entrance into a more welcoming and intuitive point of discovery.
