Riggs Ward Design created A War With No Front Lines: South Carolina and the Vietnam War for the South Carolina Military Museum, designing an immersive and thought-provoking exhibit that balances artifacts, narratives, graphics, and interactive elements. The exhibit presents a cohesive experience that engages visitors while honoring the stories of the South Carolinians who served in Vietnam.

The design highlights the personal experiences of soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen while examining the broader impact of the conflict on American politics, culture, and identity.
