Museum Brand Refresh + UI Design

CHILDREN’S CREATIVITY MUSEUM (ZEUM)

Over the course of this organization’s brand evolution and challenges around brand recognition, Xuanlana was helped art direct a brand refresh campaign to help clarify the museum’s core offerings to new families, both local and touring to downtown San Francisco. Working closely with a designer and photographer, she helped expand creative that reflected an updated brand expression that was more authentically fun, vibrant, and smart—and true to what the interactive children’s museum was about.

Educational Website UI Design

MAKER EDUCATION

As the community and educational arm of the Make Magazine and Maker Faire brands—and the de facto leading voices of the maker movement, Maker Education needed help in its early years to engage and outreach to an extensive community of educators and young makers. It required a hub and an online space to centralize shared resources and community thought leadership, while also clarifying its brand relative to the larger Maker ecosystem. During this time, Xuanlan was hired on to collaborate closely with the team to develop their online presence to make information and resources more accessible for a diverse and growing network of localized Maker community groups and individuals, young and old.

Educational Initiative Website UI Design

DREAM.ORG

Born from the vision of Van Jones and Prince, Yes We Code was a national initiative founded in 2014 to provide pathways for underrepresented young people to succeed in the tech sector. With a goal to train and prep 100,000 young people for careers in the technology sector, Xuanlana was tasked to help make the website be more accessible and relevant to its intended audience of young people—while also providing some cogency around its place in a broader Dream.org ecosystem of initiatives
