My contribution

I led the overall design vision, exhibit planning, architectural integration, graphics, and digital experience. The team developed a visitor journey that moves between physical artifacts and the people who continue the school’s story.

How can a school’s history keep growing with its community?

History in the first person

Tor Legacy Voices brings alumni and community perspectives into the collection. Interviews add personal experience and emotion alongside institutional timelines and archival material.

An artifact at the center

The historic model of the original Ball High School anchors the exhibit. Its setting brings documents, photographs, objects, and digital media into one continuous view.

An archive that can grow

Digital collections and interviews can expand as new achievements and stories emerge. Students encounter an ongoing history in which they can become participants.
