Local Projects is a media design firm for museums and public spaces, which aims to create projects that endure. Local Projects reinvents public spaces through media, designing projects from memorials to art installations. Their work focuses on emotion, sharing, and technology.
Local Projects gathers stories through collaborative storytelling projects, and between StoryCorps, the 9/11 Memorial Museum, and Change by Us, it has shared over 100,000 individuals' stories and memories, touching millions of lives.
Local Projects has won every major design award, including the National Design Award for Interaction Design, Fast Company Masters of Design, Webby Gold, MUSE Gold, and AIGA Gold. They were second on Fast Company's 2011 list of most innovative design studios and were named—alongside Bill Clinton and the Knight Foundation—to the 2012 Public Interest 100, a list representing 100 individuals and teams working at the intersection of design and service globally.
