Curt Meissner

Lead Creative - MPD Design/Build Currently working as Projects are custom corporate and residential mill work, marketing events, and furnishings for area museums. I provide the production path from the designerʼs aspiration to finished deliverable. I manage the in-house design documentation process and personally oversee site installations. That process can include renderings and other visuals, working drawings, and material samples. Additionally, I manage in-house staff, sub-contractors, and vendors, as well as providing estimates in response to RFQs.

My design responsibilities at ESI Design included the full spectrum of the design process across multiple concurrent projects - participation in team-base conceptualization, providing ideation sketches and renderings, preparing design control and architectural coordination drawings, internal design team management, final design and production installation management.

Functioned as the lead designer and project manager within a exhibit development team to develop thematic based exhibits for a variety of markets, with a focus on childrenʼs environments. Responsible for all aspects of a number of design projects developed and presented concepts, lead meetings, and managed the planning, production, and installation of the exhibits. Supervised and art directed graphic designers, audio engineers, videographers, illustrators, writers, design interns, and subcontractors. Illustrated concept renderings, designed and constructed prototypes and models, engineered and built interactives, produced graphics, drafted by hand and with computer.
