Senior Exhibit Developer

Collectively, we represent 3 disciplines: Exhibit Development, Design, and Project Management.

Exhibit Developers guide the interpretation from project start to finish. They execute research, develop interpretive goals, articulate the visitor experience, identify messages, and oversee the creation of exhibit text and research and acquisition of images.

Designers are responsible for the physical aspects of the exhibit. Both graphic and 3D designers concentrate on the affective aspects of exhibit projects, ensuring that the experience is compelling and accessible.

Project Managers oversee contract negotiation, establish schedules, coordinate deliverables, and maintain a watchful eye over budgets.
