Working in close collaboration with Civic Projects Architecture, Ralph Appelbaum Associates, and kubik maltbie, Susan meticulously set up print files for over 700 exhibit panels spanning five floors of museum exhibit space.<\/p>\n<p>Her work ensured that the design communication and imagery were arranged with coherence and clarity \u2014 allowing the emotional weight of the exhibits to land with the elevated intent they deserve. Every panel, every layout decision, every detail was handled with the care and precision that a project of this magnitude demands.<\/p>\n<p>The Obama Presidential Center is more than a museum. It is a monument to justice, service, and the enduring pursuit of a more equitable world. We are honored that IS-DG&#8217;s work is woven into that story.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations, Susan.
