About
My background is extensive with a proven record of delivering innovative design solutions that
have exceeded expectations. From 1988 through 2012 I was with the Museum of Science in
Boston, first as an Exhibit Designer, and most recently as Senior Exhibit Designer. In each position
I utilized my creative vision and deep knowledge of the leading technologies and materials to
design innovative, large-scale exhibits that maintained functionality through millions of visitors.
Enhancing my hands-on work experience was my tenure as a Senior Instructor for the
Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where I educated students on various creative software
applications, as well as Exhibit Design, Furniture Design, and Woodworking.
Throughout my career I have gained experience in a wide variety of creative pursuits, which gives
you the versatility to place me in a number of contexts with confidence that the level of
excellence you expect will be met. In addition, I have a strong technical proficiency in numerous
computer applications, as well as excellent knowledge of woodworking and construction. -
