Fast Company's Innovation by Design Awards Honors The Reimagined White House Tour

Fast Company names the Reimagined White House Tour a finalist in the Innovation by Design Awards (Experience Design category), reflecting ESI’s commitment to creating experiences that merge storytelling, accessibility and technology in bold new ways.

Developed with Former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and A+E Global Media, the project reimagines the White House tour for the digital age. Multisensory, inclusive features bring history to life—visitors listen to FDR’s fireside chats in the Diplomatic Reception Room on a replica 1939 Philco radio, explore a living timeline with customizable modes, and engage with interactive media that reveals behind-the-scenes moments. Blending innovation with tradition, the tour makes one of the world’s most iconic residences more accessible, memorable and resonant for all who visit.
