Eco Learning Labs specializes in digital learning and interpretive design that engage and inspire audiences in new and exciting ways. From simple touchscreen kiosks, to full, interpretive learning exhibit design, our media and visual art projects can help reconnect people and nature.

Using inquiry-and-discovery-based learning standards, our projects reach, educate and inspire the next generation of nature lovers and environmental stewards. We provide high-quality, affordable ways for institutions to connect and engage with their audiences, on site or around the world.

Visual Media & Design

Film, video and visual art can help you connect with and inspire new or diverse audiences. From web design, graphics, and marketing, to shorts or even feature-length films, we help bring your media projects to life!

Interactive Learning Kiosks

From simple, digital signage, interactive catalogs or information displays, to custom-developed learning applications that blend the digital and physical world, we design and build new learning tools for the 21st century.
