ROLES

Product Designer

Led the full design process, coordinated with collaborators, and ensured the final solution aligned with both user expectations and project requirements.

UI UX Designer

Conducted user research, defined user flows, and designed a clear, accessible interface that respected the archival and cultural context.

GOALS

The exhibition was shaped around four core goals:

Preserve and promote the legacy of Greek art music through a modern digital experience.
Make archival material accessible to the public in an intuitive format.
Balance educational depth with simplicity, avoiding cognitive overload.
Enhance the visitor experience within the quiet, contemplative environment of the concert hall.

CONTENT STRATEGY

The content was carefully curated and structured to support both casual exploration and academic depth. Each screen was designed to be digestible, contextual, and visually coherent while respecting the source material.

The exhibit includes:

Seven featured composers: Marios Varvoglis, Manolis Kalomiris, Antiochos Evangelatos, Dimitris Dragatakis, Rena Kyriakou, Mikis Theodorakis, and Theodoros Antoniou
Biographical storytelling: timelines, key contributions, educational influences, and cultural context
Archival referencing: curated documents, source notes, and archival codes to support deeper research and historical credibility

CHALLENGES

Designing a museum experience around historical material required balancing respect for the subject matter with a contemporary, user-friendly interface.

Notable challenges:

Tone balance: attracting attention without diminishing the seriousness of the content
Tight deadlines: requiring rapid prototyping and continuous alignment across teams
Archival image quality: inconsistent or low-resolution materials that required extensive editing and layout adjustments

DESIGN PROCESS

The design process was iterative, shaped by rapid feedback loops and the constraints of working with historical material in a museum environment.

Discovery & Research

Defined core user journeys for museum visitors: curious explorers vs. in-depth researchers
Analyzed the spatial and behavioral constraints of touchscreen exhibits in low-light, quiet environments

CONTENT MAPPING & WIREFRAMING

Content Mapping & Wireframing

Created modular content layouts for biographical, contextual, and archival sections
Prototyped interactive flows and presented early screens to the museum team for feedback
Tested UI patterns for scroll vs. tap interactions in a large-screen/touch-first format

FINAL DELIVERY

Introducing
THE MUSEUM OF GREEK COMPOSERS

HOMEPAGE

The homepage introduces the exhibition with a clear title, a short description, and a scrollable gallery of composer portraits. Designed for touch interaction, it encourages exploration through intuitive tap targets and a clean, minimal layout. The visual tone establishes a respectful yet accessible experience, aligned with the quiet atmosphere of the concert hall.

COMPOSER'S PAGE

Each composer page presents a single figure through a focused, scrollable layout combining biography, key milestones, and cultural impact. Timelines, photographs, and contextual information provide quick readability while supporting deeper exploration. A consistent visual system ensures clarity and ease of navigation.

ARCHIVE PAGE

The archive page presents curated documents, photographs, and writings related to each composer. Every item includes source context and unique archival codes for further study. The layout supports both quick browsing and scholarly reference, balancing accessibility with academic integrity.
