About The Project
The Lowline enlisted our team to help design, develop and install the 2015 Young Designers Program Exhibit at the Mark Miller Gallery. Featuring work from more than 50 student participants, our team highlighted the Lowline’s proposed location within the Lower East Side to create a narrative and theme that embodied the energy of the neighborhood. The visitor experience emphasized the design process that the students used to envision their ideal park and culminated with an interactive component to engage visitors in providing feedback about the future of their neighborhood.
As an experience designer with the team, I led the design and development of full documentation for the build out and of the interactive community engagement elements. This resulted in a document used by the team to install the exhibit and the Live, Work, Play Map, which encouraged visitors to see how the Lowline would fit in their daily lives

Live, Work, Play Map
The highlight of the exhibit was a low-fi interactive map which invited visitors to pin where they live, work, and play. Then—connecting each pin with string—they situated the future site of the Lowline park into their daily activities in order to better envision how the proposed park would affect their day-to-day experience in the Lower East Side. The map attracted more than 200 participants over the course of the exhibit and provided a peak into the diversity of the many stakeholders in the park’s development.
