CONFERENCES & TRADE SHOWS

ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN

Creating within an annual theme for the Wisconsin Governor’s Conference on Tourism (WIGCOT) involves developing a cohesive visual identity experience through event branding, graphics, signage, presentations, and more. Additionally, my experience in designing for trade show environments such as the annual IPW Trade Show for Travel Wisconsin, requires me to create designed environments and compelling visual branding to attract attendees and strengthen brand presence. In both conference and trade show settings, good experiential design helps people navigate the space, connect with the brand, and enjoy engaging, memorable experiences.
