Goal
Help visitors understand where they are, what comes next, and how to move through the story—without overload.
Het Grachten Museum
A concept focused on making exhibition navigation calmer and more intuitive through clear interaction flow and visual hierarchy.
My Role
UX research, interaction flows, structure, visual design, and prototyping.
Tools
Figma, user research notes, basic prototyping & presentation.
Process
How I moved from insights to an interface concept.
1) Research & Insights
I looked at how visitors behave in a museum context: where they hesitate, what they overlook, and what makes them feel “lost”. The focus was on reducing cognitive load and improving clarity in moments of choice.
2) Structure & Flow
I translated insights into a simple navigation logic: a clear “where am I / where next” structure, with a calm visual hierarchy. I mapped the visitor journey and designed the flow around decision points.
3) UI Concept
I created a UI direction that feels quiet and confident—using spacing, contrast, and consistent components to guide attention. The design supports both fast scanning and deeper reading.
4) Prototype & Next Steps
I built a clickable prototype to test whether people can navigate without explanation. Next steps would be quick usability testing with visitors and iterative refinement.
Outcome
What this concept improves.
Clarity
Visitors understand location and next steps faster.
Calm Experience
Less visual noise, more focus on the story and objects.
Consistency
Reusable components keep the system stable and scalable.
