Who We Are ︎︎︎
eXperiential Design Lab (XDL) is a hub for interdisciplinary designers, and researchers passionate about creating seamless and
intuitive experiences
for people in both physical, social and digital spaces.
We explore the
intersection of accessible design, visual hierarchy
of complex information, and technology to craft legible and readable solutions
that simplify communication in
the urban environments, such as signage,
wayfinding, printed collaterals, applications etc.
by enhancing user experiences while commuting,
and
foster a sense of community.
