American Museum of Natural History

Human-centered Design for Education and Data Communication



SciViz Group at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City produce data visualizations and emerging-media interactives to engage museum visitors with fundamental scientific concepts and important new discoveries. As an interaction designer in the team, I worked with a team of scientists, curators, engineers, writers and 3d artists to design user journey and prototype digital interface for upcoming exhibitions. I worked on two permanant exhibitions: Astro Kiosks at the Hall of the Universe and Periodic Table Interactive Wall at the Hall of Gem and Mineral.

Toolkits: Adobe XD, Sketch, After Effect, Unity 3D
