Nature Lab

The award-winning Nature Lab is an indoor/outdoor exhibition celebrating the biodiversity of Los Angeles. As the Project Lead and Experience Design Lead for the digital scope, I worked closely with the museum team to create 7 interactive experiences.

 
 
 
 

 

With touch-based games, 3D maps and hand-drawn illustrations, the Nature Lab interactive programs are memorable and effective messaging tools for visitors of all ages.
