Marlo Pratt, SEGD, AIGA, is the Director of Experiential Graphic Design at MHTN Architects, where they integrate storytelling, wayfinding, and identity into built environments. With 18 years of experience in graphic design and illustration, Marlo brings a thoughtful, human-centered approach that prioritizes connection, clarity, and authenticity.

Their work is informed by over a decade of experience in K–12 education, including roles in the classroom and educational grant support. This background provides a strong understanding of how students learn and how environments can support diverse needs, abilities, and learning styles, as well as align with Utah’s educational curriculum.

In close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, Marlo explores how graphics and branding can function as active learning tools, supporting student engagement, reinforcing curriculum, and creating spaces that are both inspiring and instructive.

Immersive environments are often reduced to themed or visually driven spaces. This session challenges that perception, reframing immersion as a holistic design strategy, one that emerges when space, graphics, materiality and learning are intentionally aligned to foster exploration, curiosity, and deeper student engagement. Through a collaborative lens, an interior designer and an experiential designer will demonstrate how immersive environments are created through the alignment of space, materiality, color, and storytelling. Rather than applying graphics as decoration, this approach embeds them as teaching tools, reinforcing curriculum, encouraging curiosity, and creating meaningful connections between students and their environment.
