To commemorate its 50th anniversary, the University of Washington’s Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity partnered with Studio Matthews to create an exhibition celebrating the organization’s history, impact, and ongoing mission.

The project brought together students, faculty, and community stakeholders through an unusually collaborative design process. Joining the project after the concept phase, I helped transform those ideas into a unified exhibition identity, establishing the typography, imagery, infographic approach, and graphic standards that carried throughout the experience.

The result was an award-winning exhibition that translated diverse perspectives into a clear and compelling visitor experience while honoring the organization’s enduring legacy.
