​Unravelling complexity & illuminating stories

​Over the Fall semester, senior Information Design students each take on the local manifestation of a messy and complex challenge–also known as a wicked problem–and unravel it, visualizing the systems it lives in, the actors surrounding it, and the root causes that perpetuate it.

​Information Designers illuminate the important stories within the system, find clarity in complexity, and make ‘impossible’ challenges feel a little more approachable.

​Join us for a showcase of immersive visualizations!
