Elizabeth Bailey • WNY Wayfinder

Hi, I'm Liz! I'm a strategic design and wayfinding project manager with over a decade of experience working within the architectural and interior design market. I specialize in making complex ideas tangible—building systems, tools, and creative solutions that help teams align and move forward with clarity.

Since 2021 I've been leading and implementing large-scale wayfinding systems and signage design projects around the country—helping big organizations host their guests with ease. I'm so proud to have helped a range of clients from the biggest hospitals, to nationally recognized educational campuses, large churches and even small community neighborhoods/parks.

Much of my experience has been from the roots of B2B manufacturing. My tenure in three-dimensional fabrication feeds my pursuit of thoughtful, practical, and feasible human-inspired design solutions. I like finding real answers to real problems. But it's better yet when I can lead groups through the process of that change. I’m most energized when facilitating conversations, presenting ideas, and helping groups navigate new possibilities to implement change, together.

Personally, I'm: solar-powered, a born extrovert, an eager devil's advocate (Type 8 on the enneagram), a novice astronomer, an energetic communicator and expressive explorer. I love travel, story-telling, cooking, baseball, being active and I read every moment I can.

My school report cards most frequently read: "Liz is a social butterfly." But a favorite compliment of mine is that: "Creatively, Liz will wrestle a project down until it's exactly the way it should be." (As the oldest of 5 girls, that one is hard to beat.)
