Mache Tèt Anlè, meaning “Walk With Your Head High”, is a research-driven installation and visual identity project. It delivers a seamless, contemporary editorial system across print formats, including a hardcover book, altar catalog, and informational pamphlets, that unify tactile materials to engage viewers and thoughtfully challenge misconceptions about Haitian Vodou. The design balances cultural sensitivity with modern aesthetics, crafting a cohesive narrative.
