This project was a re-imagining of the website for the Smithsonian Freer & Sackler Galleries with a special emphasis on usability to highlight their wonderful collection of Asian art and antiquities.
My primary goal was to bring the thrill of exploration and discovery one gets while walking through the museum directly to the user. Whether they are at the museum looking at art in person or browsing through the collection at home, my objective was to bring the art to the forefront of the design in order to create a more memorable and informative experience.
I created a flexible design (inspired in part by Japanese woodblock printing) that would be simple to use as well as look good on multiple devices and screen sizes.
