Exhibit Design Projects
I've spent over 15 years working as an exhibit designer and throughout that span I helped create dozens of unique displays and museum environments. Clients have a message they want to share through the exhibits and visitors want to learn and create memorable and meaningful experiences. There's a lot of complexity and variables that must be considered to make a quality museum experience. I understand it requires good communication and cooperation amongst many different parties to make these a reality.
By working on a wide variety of projects of different sizes I was able to wear many different hats. I worked directly with historians, architects, general contractors, media producers, artifact mounters, lighting designers, museum directors and carpenters. As a senior designer, I also trained and directed junior level designers. I believe that only through experience can a designer's connections form and toolkits expand.
Drawings & Renderings
I've learned to use many different types of drawings to communicate. Quick sketches are helpful for generating ideas and collaborating with other designers. Plans, Elevations and Details are useful when working with architects, general contractors and fabricators. Specialty Drawings are helpful for AV systems or Content location plans. Vignettes are useful for outlining interactives or other unique points of interest. AXO and Perspective Views allow clients to understand the space three-dimensionally and renderings are fully developed 3D scenes, primarily for marketing.
