Identity & Experience Design for Planet Word
Local Projects collaborated with philanthropist Ann Friedman to transform the Franklin School—a National Historical Landmark six blocks from the White House—into Planet Word, the world's first voice-activated museum of language. Through ten immersive galleries, visitors use their voices to interact with exhibits while hearing from a diverse international cast of leaders, authors, and everyday people sharing what language means to them.
The exhibition identity creates a cohesive visual language across the museum's interactive learning experiences, balancing playful engagement with institutional clarity.
