What makes a place impossible to forget? Chanel Dehond, brandx

What is it that makes some places stay with us long after we’ve left them? In this episode of Wayfinding Xchange, Alison Richings talks to artist, designer and wayfinder Chanel Dehond about the role of storytelling, creativity and memory in the way we experience and navigate the world around us. From the visual landmarks we use to find our way, to the personal stories and unexpected details that make a place feel distinctive, Chanel explores why the things that stand out are often the things we remember. She also shares how her work as an artist has influenced her approach to wayfinding, and why humour, playfulness and personal connection have an important place within design. The conversation explores how we build mental maps, the role of our senses, the importance of inclusive communication and what we might gain, and lose, as technology makes navigation increasingly efficient.
