Collecting New York’s Stories: Stuyvesant to Sid Vicious

Design Team:
January 2020 – December 2021

In Collecting New York’s Stories, I designed a digital interactive that encouraged visitors to engage with the exhibition’s themes in a fun and immersive way. The interactive allowed guests to digitally “wear” a bunny mask—one of the exhibition’s key artifacts—and take a photo to share on social media. The nearby display of the physical mask helped to bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds, creating a memorable connection to the objects on display. This interactive element was designed to be intuitive and shareable, extending the exhibition's reach beyond the Museum’s walls while inviting visitors to explore personal identity and storytelling in New York’s rich cultural landscape.
