PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE
The story panels contribute to the pedestrian experience as the Linn Street Bridge connects to Cincinnati’s West End, a neighborhood that endured one of the most devastating mid-century urban renewal transformations in the country. It was important to acknowledge and honor that history wherever possible, and the story panels provided an opportunity to reflect and preserve those narratives. `

WAYFINDING & GATEWAYS

My other contributions at the city spanned a range of wayfinding systems and community gateways. I’ve contributed to the city’s streetcar mapping system, neighborhood identifiers, heritage trails, bike maps, and other public-facing designs.
