Digital Experience for a National Lincoln Archive

Enterprise Rebrand Across Three Business Units

The Allen County Public Library needed a modern digital experience for one of the most significant Lincoln archives in the country, without compromising historical integrity. I led the visual and experiential direction of a platform designed to serve researchers, educators, families, and visitors through a single, cohesive system.

The resulting experience balances period-informed design with contemporary interaction and motion, creating a sense of depth, discovery, and narrative flow. The platform translates a 19th-century legacy into an accessible, intuitive digital experience built for long-term public engagement.

Solution:

Developed a sophisticated visual identity and interactive experience that brought the Lincoln Collection into the digital age. The design combined period-inspired typography and color palettes with contemporary UI/UX sensibilities. Motion graphics and micro-interactions were used to create a sense of discovery and depth. The result is an elegant, intuitive platform that bridges the gap between 19th-century history and 21st-century storytelling, making Lincoln’s legacy more accessible than ever.
