Augmented reality changes what community engagement can feel like. Built for Artifact Agency and featured at Grand Avenue Arts All Access in November 2025, this prototype gave over 300 people a new way to experience a city block: overlaying design proposals onto real space, following a wayfinding trail, and encountering stories tied to specific locations along the route. The result was a proof of concept with clear applications beyond the festival context, including urban planning visualization, park furniture and streetscape design, and narrative-driven placemaking. If communities can walk through a proposal before it's built, the conversation changes.
