Hospitals are confusing and stressful environments
to all visitors and patients, and those with hearing,
vision or mobility impairments are at even more of
a disadvantage. I wanted to investigate this issue and
look into how to make hospitals easier to navigate.

I created a wayfinding proposal that could help address some of the major pain points in hospital design.
This project was informed by hospitals that I visited, and people that I talked to who have visited and/or
worked in hospitals. It is also based heavily on research about wayfinding and accessibility.

Wayfinding is an interesting form of design to me, and one that I think often goes unnoticed, but plays
suchan integral part in our everyday lives. The idea of helping people through wayfinding was an
appealingsolution to me. I think that this problem is a very worthwhile one to tackle, and
something I wish I had the resources to impact more directly.
