Design Interactives

During my work experience at the museum, I actively engaged in the critical role of evaluating and refining exhibit spaces and interactive elements. I delved into the intricacies of designing diverse visitor experiences, considering factors such as mediums, spatial arrangements, and contextual relevance.

Objectives

My responsibilities included brainstorming innovative enhancements for existing interactives, aiming to improve functionality and adaptability.
