National Maritime Museum Compass 2

The National Maritime Museum asked me to re-imagine their existing Compass Card Experience so it would cater for a wider audience. I worked with the museum to design an experience that allows visitors to browse the entire online collection on the Compass kiosks and save their searches on their card. The existing curated Compass Card trail was adapted to make it more engaging for a younger audience and open the dialogue between the museum and it’s visitors.
