I thought I’d take a moment to share the tool we used to develop two interactives in our galleries. The attached document was used by four groups of (three people per group) and the result was shared the entire group plus a few upper management staff. We whittled the ideas down to two (InSight and Arts and Letters) and then installed them in the gallery. Unfortunately I don’t have the prototype form used for the Arts and Letters interactive. Below you will see the CAD drawings for the interactive and I think they tell the story, but feel free to comment with any questions. We have not done any evaluation on this interactive, but we restock the blank forms regularly.
I have more than seventeen years of professional development in the area of exhibit design and installation, working for a variety of institutions and private clientele from Carmel California to Portland Oregon. I received my masters degree in Museum Studies with an emphasis in education and interpretation from John F. Kennedy University. In my current capacity at the Crocker Art Museum I direct the exhibition design and work with both the curatorial and education departments to create engaging museum experiences for visitors. Specialties include: Exhibition design, project management, chief preparator, lighting design, volunteer coordination, and facilities management.
