Overview
Rebuilt a 200-page, century-old handbook into a multi-format learning system.
Methods, Measures, & Results
Rebuilt a 200-page, century-old handbook into a multi-format learning system: interactive app, hardbound spiral handbook, full-color coffee-table book, and animated eBook—balancing academic rigor with retail usability.
Modernized content for cultural and linguistic relevance; fact-checked and verified technical, historical, and material data with SMEs (museum curators, wood scientists, textile historians); created an editorial style guide and terminology standards.
Directed the visual overhaul—replacing inconsistent sketches/dated photos with consistent, color-managed imagery for every period, style, piece, wood (incl. composites), fabric/weave, floor and window covering, and hardware.
Unified brand identity and layout systems across print and digital; calibrated color for handbook paper, glossy art stock, covers, web, app, and eBook; improved instructional flow and cross-references.
