During my internship at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, I had the opportunity to contribute to exhibition graphics for the Art of Manga exhibition at the de Young museum. Building from the visual identity developed by the graphic designer, I worked on didactics and wayfinding graphics.

I collaborated throughout the project with not just the Exhibition Design team at FAMSF, but stakeholders across multiple departments: editors, exhibition coordinators, and the curators (and even Japanese manga publishers). 


“Manga—Japanese comics and graphic novels—have become a global phenomenon. Featuring rarely presented original drawings by major artists, Art of Manga showcases the world of manga from the 1970s to today. The exhibition explores manga as a powerful medium for visual storytelling, highlighting themes across genres, from friendship to sexuality to the human condition. Looking closely at each artist’s narrative worlds and creative processes, the exhibition also spotlights manga’s cultural impact today and possibilities for the future.”

Features Chiba Tetsuya, Akatsuka Fujio, Takahashi Rumiko, Taniguchi Jiro, Yamazaki Mari, Araki Hirohiko, Yamashita Kazumi, Tagame Gengoroh, Yoshinaga Fumi, Oda Eiichiro, and Tanaami Keiichi (in exhibition order).

I worked on architectural elevations, at scale, to place the didactics. I had to consider its environment—for example, this section text above had to be broken up as it was placed on two panels that don’t connect. In addition, the height was important in consideration of accessbility and eye level.


The exhibition mascot, Beshi, guides visitors right to left, following the traditional reading direction of manga.












Manga speech bubbles, an integral supporting graphic, feature the Japanese names of the artists in the exhibition. Drawn directly from manga pages, I pulled a variety of shapes, sizes, and emotional expressions.
