Henry Cowell

The Henry Cowell Mobile Visitor Center is a trailer that we transformed into an educational exhibit space about the Santa Cruz Sand Hills. I worked in collaboration with the rest of the Formations Inc. team under the supervision of our creative director. I played a large role in establishing the look and feel for this project. I’ve tried to highlight area where I had a significant impact on the layout and style of the exhibit space.
