Educator and curator Janet Owen Driggs, in collaboration with 18th Street Arts Center, organized an exhibition celebrating the life and work of artist Tom Van Sant—focusing on his pioneering Geosphere Project. We were brought on to design and develop a comprehensive, adaptable web archive that preserves and presents Van Sant’s legacy: from early drawings and public artworks to environmental data visualizations and a detailed timeline of his life and projects. The site was designed with a flexible content management system, allowing Driggs to continue expanding and updating the archive as new materials surface.

Custom Typeface
To support both the exhibition and web archive, a custom typeface was designed drawing inspiration from the Earth's form and the modular geometry central to the Geosphere Project. Constructed on an 8×8 grid with repeated circular structures, the typeface includes a full set of letters, numerals, and special characters. It was implemented across mediums—from the digital interface to printed materials like posters and postcards, and featured throughout the physical exhibition environment.
