Maine State Aquarium - Shark Exhibit

Perch partnered with the Maine State Aquarium to reimagine its visitor experience, creating a new identity and exhibit master plan rooted in the coastal culture, scientific curiosity, and community pride of Maine.

I played a key role in the new shark exhibit, contributing to graphic design, researching and illustrating local shark species, and an interactive experience that teaches visitors about shark tracking.

Shark Tracking

Moving a shark cutout near a “buoy” triggers an RFID sensor and lights an LED indicator. A small embedded monitor logs the latest sightings for this particular shark.
