Downtown Cary Park Map Icons

This project was completed during an internship at French/West/Vaughan, a marketing and communications agency based in Raleigh, North Carolina. As part of a branding and marketing initiative for a newly developed public park, I designed a collection of wayfinding icons intended for use on park maps, signage, and throughout the site. The icon system was created to improve navigation, enhance accessibility, and provide visitors with clear visual cues while maintaining a cohesive design language.

Collection of various outdoor playground and park structures including slides, a dog-themed play area, shade structures, fountains, bridges, a greenhouse, and water features surrounded by trees and greenery.
Black and white line icons of various structures and objects including stylized animals, playground equipment, buildings, trees, and a river with a bridge, arranged in a grid.
Comparison of a simple outline drawing of some nesting birds versus a detailed, colored illustration of a bird sculpture on a green background with trees.
Side-by-side comparison of a simple black and white line drawing and a detailed colored illustration of a dog in front of a dog park feature with trees and seating, labeled 'Bark Bar Graphics'.
Comparison of a simple black-and-white line drawing and a detailed colored illustration of a modern pavilion with a circular, layered roof, surrounded by trees and greenery.
Comparison of a simple black and white outline of a fountain on the left with a detailed, colored illustration of the same fountain showing water flowing from vertical jets into a basin, with green trees in the background.
Comparison of a simple black-and-white schematic of a round architectural structure to a detailed colored rendering showing glass walls, a wooden roof, and a water fountain in front.
Comparison of simple and detailed illustrations of a park with trees, courts, and seating areas.
Comparison of different views of a sky walk: simple outline, detailed illustration with trees and landscape.
A comparison of two architectural drawings, one simple and one detailed, of a modern house with large glass windows and wooden supports, accompanied by trees and a green landscape.
Comparison of a simple black-and-white diagram and a detailed colored illustration of a tiered water feature with multiple levels, rocks, plants, and flowing water.

Pratt Institute Wayfinding Design

View Full Document

This project is a conceptual rebranding and wayfinding system for Pratt Institute, designed to create a stronger campus identity while improving navigation and accessibility. The proposal combines signage, environmental graphics, and architectural elements into a cohesive visual language that reflects Pratt's creative culture and values. Durable powder-coated stainless steel signage, illuminated Varia resin panels, custom LED neon flex installations, and color-coded vinyl graphics work together to create a clear and engaging wayfinding experience. Interactive neon signage with motion-activated animations introduces a contemporary and memorable element, transforming navigation into an extension of Pratt's innovative and artistic character.

Subway Redesign

A conceptual redesign of the New York City subway wayfinding system, created to address common challenges in the current rider experience, including limited real-time information, visual clutter, poor visibility, and outdated transit displays. The proposal introduces a digital ceiling-mounted navigation system installed inside subway cars, providing passengers with live service updates, accurate arrival times, clear route information, and improved visibility throughout the subway car and their journey. By combining improved visibility with a modern, integrated design, the concept reimagines how transit information can be delivered in a more intuitive, accessible, and efficient way.
