Creative Director | Senior UX / Graphic Designer | Brand Systems & Digital Experiences
PROJECT:
CHANGE THE CURRENTS
CLIENT: Carnival Cruise Line
LOCATION: Carnival Jubilee, Galveston, TX
As Art Director and UX Designer, I led the design of Change the Currents — an interactive touchscreen experience aboard Carnival Jubilee that lets guests transform the surrounding environment through responsive underwater animations. I designed an intuitive, no-instruction interface focused on seamless guest interaction, blending large-scale media integration with responsive visual feedback across physical and digital environments.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
-
Art direction and UI/UX design for interactive touchscreen kiosk
-
Visual system design for animated underwater environments
-
Interface design for intuitive guest interaction
-
Brand alignment across screen UI and environmental media
-
Collaboration with developers on responsive system integration
THE INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE: Guests use the kiosk to select from a series of immersive underwater environments displayed across large-scale LED screens.
DESIGN APPROACH: The UI was designed to be simple, elegant, and intuitive for Carnival guests of all ages. Six large LED screens spanning the two-story atrium display underwater scenes created by Infinite Infinite World Studios, with the kiosk interface directly controlling the surrounding media environment. I designed the experience to create a seamless connection between the touchscreen interface and the large-scale digital displays, while also ensuring accessibility through thoughtful UI layout and button placement. I additionally contributed to the design of the custom parallelogram-shaped touchscreen kiosk and helped maintain visual consistency across the physical and digital experience.
