Journey through the creation of the Digital Humanities Action Lab (DHAL) at The American LGBTQ+ Museum, a collaborative effort of our dedicated team. In my role as the creative director, I established the Department of Design and Brand Standards within the Action Lab. Dive into the development of logos, color palettes, and typography that eloquently encapsulate the essence of LGBTQ+ history, promoting inclusivity and accessibility. This branding overview sets the stage for a profound cultural experience, showcasing our team's passion and creativity in shaping this pivotal institution.

Complementing this overview, my research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of design's indispensable role in the formation of this cultural institution. Delve deep into how design influences museum programs, community engagement, and the dissemination of LGBTQ+ history, with a particular focus on the founding of the Department of Design and Brand Standards. Furthermore, the paper unveils DHAL's future design vision, outlining strategies for expansion, improved user experiences, and the preservation of the diverse LGBTQ+ voices within the digital realm. Immerse yourself in this dynamic interplay of design and cultural heritage, a testament to our team's dedication and creativity in crafting a vibrant future for LGBTQ+ representation in museums.
