City of Roseville

Roseville Utility Exploration Center | Digital Installation

Interactive exhibits for a public facility in Roseville, designed to communicate city infrastructure systems to local residents, including children.

Role

Led UX/UI design across multiple interactive installations, covering interaction design, visual systems, and motion assets.

Approach

Designed end-to-end interaction flows for each exhibit while managing multiple experiences in parallel.

To bridge the gap between concept and physical execution in a remote workflow, created detailed motion prototypes in After Effects to simulate full user sessions.

Outcome

Improved alignment between client, designers, and developers by making interaction flows tangible.

Reduced ambiguity in implementation and contributed to a more efficient production process.

The centerpiece of the exhibition — a projection table. A 3D-sculpted tabletop modeled after the entire city has the city's infrastructure network projected onto it.

A section of the exhibition floor dedicated to waste management and recycling. A large touchscreen table is installed on the left side of the space.

Roseville manages its water supply from underground aquifers, adjusting the flow between wet and dry seasons. In this exhibit, turning the handle on the pipe physically changes the water flow inside.

Users split into teams on each side of the table, picking out recyclables from a stream of passing trash and dropping them into the right bins. Points are tallied based on how much you sort within the time limit.

An exhibit that visualizes everyday energy and water savings. Actions taken on the house model on the right are reflected in real time on the screen to the left.

An educational game about power grid infrastructure. Several scenarios of varying difficulty are shown on a wall-mounted screen, and users race against the clock to map out the most efficient route for delivering electricity from the power plant to the whole city.
