The brief
Give the institution a clear digital front door.
Programming, institutional stories, and cross-campus visibility competed for space on LincolnCenter.org. I defined a clearer role for the homepage: establish a sense of place, introduce what is happening, and help people take a useful next step.

01 / Audience pathways
Pair a sense of arrival with an obvious way in.
Discovery across programming, marketing, brand, communications, visitor experience, and other institutional groups surfaced many valid requests for visibility. I organized them around audience journeys to establish a basis for prioritization.
A cinematic opening expresses the energy of Lincoln Center, while immediately available discovery controls help visitors who already know what they need. Visual expression and practical navigation each have a defined job.

02 / Connected products
Move naturally from inspiration to a plan.
The homepage and Global Calendar were designed together. Curated homepage modules introduce possibilities; the calendar provides comprehensive browsing, filtering, and dates.
Featured Across Campus makes room for performances, festivals, public programs, and Resident Arts Organizations within a shared editorial system. Clear attribution preserves the identity of the institutions behind each experience.
Connected products
Inspiration hands off naturally to comprehensive discovery.
The homepage introduces what is possible; the calendar provides the depth to act on it.

03 / Institutional storytelling
Make room for why the place matters.
The homepage also needs to tell stories about history, public purpose, and Lincoln Center’s relationship with New York City. Editorial pathways bring that material into the main audience journey.
Reusable modules support changing stories, seasonal identities, and a future brand expression. The mobile treatment preserves visual scale and clear actions, so institutional storytelling remains approachable on a small screen.
Editorial storytelling
Institutional stories retain their power on the smallest screen.
Visual scale, concise language, and direct actions keep the narrative immersive without making it difficult to navigate.

Outcome & perspective
An institutional ambition made tangible.
The responsive prototype established a foundation for a January 2027 launch. Stakeholders can evaluate the page as a connected experience, giving feedback on content hierarchy, organizational representation, and component behavior.
The figures above are existing audience baselines. Future evaluation will connect homepage engagement to calendar discovery, event views, referrals, visitor-information use, accessibility, and performance.
Defining what the homepage was for gave the institution a clearer way to decide what belonged on it.
