Kohl Children’s Museum
Client: Established in 1980 and based in Chicago, Booth Hansen is recognized nationally as a leading architectural design firm.
Target Audience: Board members, donors, general members, and visitors to the Kohl Children’s Museum, designed by Booth Hansen.
Challenge: The Kohl Children’s Museum’s mission is to have a space for “active play learning.” The success of the Museum is due in large part to the highly collaborative nature of the design process, which involved workshops with museum staff and the Board of Trustees. As the Chicago area’s only facility providing exhibits exclusively for the birth-to-8 age range, the Museum has been recognized nationally as a model for its integration of play within a safe environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and self-discovery.
Solution: Linda created a visual “storybook” highlighting the collaborative design process as a special gift featured during a series of opening events.
Services: strategy, design, messaging + copywriting
