Wordless Navigation System

Choreographing movement without verbal instruction, refined for intuitive interpretation across users

(2024) Black and red ink on paper

Relevance to Spool: designing transitions, directing attention, reducing uncertainty, and choreographing an experience across multiple touchpoints.

Designed a hand drawn wordless navigation system that organizes movement into a structured sequence while implementing an interactive element.

The instruction manual uses visual hierarchy and spatial logic to communicate direction and action. The purpose is to guide users on a walk from Providence’s Pizza Marvin to Tallulah’s Taqueria without written language. Utilizing landmarks and active engagement in the form of a scavenger hunt-like checklist as a measure to keep users oriented.

The project required me to anticipate where someone might hesitate, what information they would need in each moment, and how visual communication could create continuity across a changing physical environment.
