Project Case Studies

Overview: Artifacts are physical objects to provide a sense of reality and engage visitors. Actual artifacts are difficult to locate or prohibitively expensive to borrow. I am able to create a variety of exhibit artifacts that enhance visitor engagement. Below are some examples of work I’ve done.

Scope: How do you drive economic growth with 275 years of history and an 18th century fort? Bring it to life and make it interesting!

Scope: Recreate the original Civil War era general store floor plan, counters and shelving by working from historical documents, photographs and onsite archaeological indications.

Overview: I believe the primary goal of signs and labels is to inspire the visitor to explore more about the topics presented. My approach is to ensure the information is “digestible” i.e. organized, accessible and readable. I can prepare handouts or notebooks to provide more extensive text.

Overview: My approach to space planning begins with the logical ordering of space to meet specific needs. Once I’ve met the basic requirements, I look for ways to incorporate multisensory aspects when possible. I believe site visitors expect immersive experiences.

Overview: A carefully designed illustration or diagram can communicate more meaningfully than lengthy text explanations. I use a variety of illustration techniques that include freehand pencil drawings, watercolor, markers, CAD software and hybrid approaches to build illustrations that address specific project requirements.
