| Introduction | I’ve worked in museums for 20 years. As Head Curator of the Museum of Science and Industry, I worked on iconic projects like the U505 Submarine, Pioneer Zephyr and the Model Railroad in addition to temporary exhibits including Titanic: The Exhibition. Before MSI, I was a content development and collections management consultant for the Chicago Historical Society, Milwaukee Art Museum, California Science Center, Chicago Architecture Foundation, American Bar Association, Garfield Park Conservatory and International Museum of Surgical Science. In 2004 I became an experience designer at BRC. My recent clients include the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Stories Project, Louisiana’s Old State Capital, Scottsdale Museum of the West, National Health Museum, Guizhou Cultural District, Tennessee State Museum, Sears Tower, and Museum of Liverpool. Art is my inspiration. I have created works for the Chicago Historical Society and the John G. Shedd Aquarium in addition to solo and group exhibits domestically and abroad. I received a BA from the Art Institute of Chicago and concurrently interned in Anthropology at the Field Museum for three years. I am also a runner and beach bum. |
