Wilder Tower is one of the first places incoming freshmen and their families encounter during orientation, admissions, and financial aid visits. I was tasked with making the first floor feel more welcoming through environmental graphics that added energy, clarity, and a sense of place.

The project included door, elevator, and stair wraps; banners; and a selfie wall featuring an illustrated collection of Memphis landmarks, created in collaboration with my colleague Abby Dearing This was my first major project for the University of Memphis and an early example of how environmental design can shape first impressions on campus.
