Hello! I’m Joseph Mackereth—a father, husband, and Wayfinding practitioner living in the Philadelphia area. I earned my BFA from Tyler School of Art and my MALS from Hollins University. As part of Exit Design, I work to solve navigational challenges for a variety of institutions. I’m also a member of the Cognitive Navigation Group, Data Visualization Society, and SEGD. When I’m not working, I like to go hiking, camping, kayaking, and spending time with my amazing wife and daughter.
