THE PROBLEM SCOPE

The Burke Museum has inconsistent branding guide

Located in Seattle, the Burke Museum is a go-to destination for students, teachers, and educators interested in learning through hands-on exhibits and exploring the stories of the Pacific Northwest’s landscapes and communities.

EMPATHIZING WITH USERS

Interviewees shared that the current information is hard to find

OBJECTIVES

Creating a brand new design system

to better represent the Burke Museum’s story and help users to easily navigate to the correct information thanks to a new consistent design system

When it comes to looking for stuff, it’s not just sitting there. I really have to navigate around the website, it doesn’t come up with stuff. And it is a waste of time if I am simply looking for something in the nick of time.
