Our team has hit the ground running in #HolladayUT – the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the state! We're looking forward to digging into the local history and crafting exhibits that honor the city's heritage and reflect the character of the region.

"Never before have men crossed the seas to a foreign land to fight for a cause which they did not pretend was peculiarly their own, but knew was the cause of humanity and of mankind."

Quote on the World War I Memorial from President Woodrow Wilson - born #OTD in 1856.

Museums hold a special place in our society preserving our collective history and culture. It's a beautiful opportunity to spend time in these magical spaces and lose ourselves in all this enriching content!

#Africanart is often underrepresented in American galleries. This interactive we designed, programmed, and installed at the @ncartmuseum allows visitors to explore the treasures of three African empires and how the region's trade and natural dynamics shaped their creation.

Strong conceptual design is the bedrock of any exhibit. Infusing the early phases of a project with artistry ensure that the final result is impactful.

This sketch we did for the @vmfamuseum's Fabergé exhibit is an excellent example of how concepts guide final designs!
