A website for SFU’s new Gibson Art Museum, extending INFO CO’s identity into a flexible digital system.

Role: Creative Director, Designer, Developer

The Marianne and Edward Gibson Art Museum is a new purpose-built institution on Burnaby Mountain dedicated to inclusive learning and critical inquiry through visual art. As SFU consolidates its gallery programmes into a single, more accessible facility, the Gibson serves as a platform for exhibitions, public commissions, research, and interdisciplinary collaboration across the university.

I led the design and development of the Gibson’s website, extending the visual identity created by INFO CO into a flexible digital system. Drawing on the identity’s nesting motif, I designed a dynamic layout structure that organizes content through shifting frames and layered spatial relationships.

Built with Next.js and Payload CMS, the site gives the museum a robust, future-focused publishing framework, supporting exhibitions, learning resources, the SFU Art Collection, and a growing archive of research-driven programmes. The result is a clear and welcoming online environment that mirrors the institution’s mandate: lowering barriers, engaging diverse communities, and inviting meaningful encounters with contemporary art.
