Overview

My experience in Product Design and Advertising gives me a skillset that I can use as a foundation in Exhibit Development. By researching the exhibit development and design process from experts online, I've been able to teach myself the start of what I haven't gotten formally elsewhere. By creating an Interpretive Master Plan for a fictitious museum, I was able to showcase how I approach creative problems like the ones I hope to solve on the job.

Though the museum mentioned below isn't real, I drew inspiration from ones like those at Thanksgiving Point and others I've visited which have given me moments of awe and inspiration. I care deeply about the work I do, and I'm motivated by projects that benefit other people. As AI becomes ubiquitous in children's educations, and classes like woodshop and home economics are falling out of curriculums, we are robbing young minds of the opportunities to discover the world around them for themselves. I believe that the work in these museums is paramount and the work below is proof of that.

Takeaways

When I started this project I didn't know what to expect. I was Googling my way through the whole thing, learning from experts in the process that are passionate about their work and are willing to share their tips for others online.

When I went to school for Advertising, I often felt sick with my own power to make emotional experiences that manipulated people into doing things at their own expense, for the benefit of a corporation. This project, one that relies heavily on storytelling and experiential design, has shown me how necessary it is to make make compelling work that can actually good for the people it's influencing.
