Cincinnati Metro - Uptown Transit District

As part of Cincinnati Metro’s efforts to enhance public transportation, MSA Architects developed a strategic master plan and designed key transit stops for the newly created Uptown Transit District. Once the transit hub locations were selected, our team developed a cohesive system of branded signage, pylons, kiosks, and maps to improve wayfinding and accessibility.

I played a key role in shaping the district’s visual identity, designing all screen-printed illustrations and comprehensive transit maps—including the official metro system map. I also contributed to fabrication specs and placemaking elements, ensuring clarity and cohesion across all touchpoints. This project strengthened my experience in municipal and transit design, blending function with aesthetics to create a seamless urban navigation experience.
