Environmental Design, Wayfinding, Exhibition
This project was completed as part of my Environmental Design course and focused on the design and prototyping of a temporary exhibit space. I selected the history and cultural significance of African American Men's hair as the subject, using the exhibit as a platform for education, storytelling, and reflection.

I was responsible for the entire project from start to finish, including research, concept development, spatial planning, scaling, and final execution. The process involved synthesizing historical research into a physical environment, translating abstract narratives into tangible visual and spatial experiences.
The final design emphasized intentional layout, clear informational hierarchy, and immersive and interactive storytelling, ensuring that visitors could engage with the topic both emotionally, educationally, and physically. This project strengthened my ability to design within physical constraints while maintaining conceptual clarity and cultural accuracy.
