The Smithsonian Gardens Orchid Collection contains over 3,000 records, but like many institutional datasets, its existing interface prioritizes taxonomic search over public exploration—making it difficult for non-experts to browse, learn, or form meaningful connections. This project reimagines how institutional data can be experienced by the public. Starting from the perspective of a curious, non-expert visitor, I transformed fragmented Open Access records into an exploratory generous interface that invites discovery, learning, and wonder.
