WELCOMING THE WORLD TO ATLANTA
Developed by SCAD students, The Last Mile turns navigation into a wayfinding experience that builds momentum and community.
The system guides visitors toward the stadium using colorful pattern progressions — from a calming welcome to an exciting epicenter — ensuring their journey through the city builds confidence and energy. Drawing from Atlanta’s versatile DNA, the dynamic designs both delight as visual representations of hospitality and function as beacons for the flow of fans.

ATL
Created for The Center in Atlanta, the work functions as both landmark and evolving media sculpture, transforming the familiar abbreviation into a large-scale architectural form. Embedded with LED surfaces that display shifting streams of imagery, ATL operates as a living portrait of the city — a sculpture, site marker, and collective visual archive.

Now That The Sun Came Out, I Miss The Rain
Created in partnership with City of Atlanta’s Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, Now That The Sun Came Out, I Miss The Rain reimagines a highly visible corridor as a dynamic cultural landmark. Drawing on her signature fusion of hyperrealism and abstraction, White’s mural features playful iconography and “sticker” elements inspired by Y2K aesthetics and digital culture. Georgia-inspired foliage, surreal motifs, and vibrant patterns combine to create a visually striking catalyst for connection.
