Hi,
I’m Joseph Mackereth, a wayfinding designer, educator, and researcher based in the Philadelphia area. My work focuses on how people understand complex environments and how wayfinding systems can support orientation, decision-making, and navigation.
As part of Merje Design, I help institutions solve navigational challenges across campuses, urban environments, recreation sites, cultural destinations, and other complex public places.
I earned my BFA from Tyler School of Art and my MALS in Interdisciplinary Studies from Hollins University. I’m a member of the Society of Experiential Designers and Data Visualization Society. Outside of work, I enjoy camping, hiking, and spending time with my wife and daughter.
Places & Projects
Over the course of my career, my work has taken me to a range of environments across the United States. Over time, these places have shaped the way I think about navigation, information, and the experience of moving through space. This map highlights selected projects and locations that have informed that ongoing process of learning and observation.
