National Park Service


Environmental Signage and Wayfinding

2016–2017
While working at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, as subsect of the National Park Service I worked closely with the interpretation and accessibility teams to create signage and waysides for the parks trails.

In this process I worked heavily with park rangers at each site to develop language and visuals to create a signs and waysides that help the visitor navigate the site and gather more information about what to expect while on the trail.
We gathered trail data with a special recording device that we used to make infographics of trail sections to the visitors. This helped especially for people with low-mobility or who want to know what the elevation gain, trail material, steepness and length of the trail.

Locations: John Muir Woods, Stinson Beach, Marin Headlands, Lands End, Mori Point and Eagle Point.
