For the Sandpoint Marsh Trail at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, I designed interpretive panels that immerse visitors in the wetland ecosystem. The exhibits introduce native plants and animals, explore seasonal flooding, highlight the marsh’s water-filtering role, and connect ecological stories with the Anishinaabe people.
The panels feature layered custom illustrations and bronze tactile elements for accessibility. Visitors engage with interactive components, including bird and frog signs and an ADA-accessible audio guide, while learning about winter tracks, wetland filtration, and the diversity of species in the marsh.
