Camera, Cooperstown!
New York State
Historical Association
2014-2016
The exhibit about local Smalley’s Theare used its small space to immerse the visitor in the theatre
feeling with curtains, projector, and a set of usable theatre chairs. In addition to the design, I was
exclusively responsible for lighting and installing the art, artiacts, vinyl, and phototex.

Cooperstown
Graduate Program
2013
This interactive, short-term exhibit highlighted the distinctions between the Cooperstown Graduate
Program and other museum studies programs. It encouraged participation from both visitors and
alumni who were contacted via mail. Along with the concept and design, I was responsible for
construction, painting, and installation of the vinyl, foamcore, magnets, and postcards.

Exhibit Developer
NRG! Exhibits
2014-2015
While working at NRG! Exhibits, I have built
and maintained traveling exhibit components. I
have installed vinyl, painted walls, paneling, and
kiosks. I also created circuitry for the video kiosk
displayed at the right. Working with power tools
and air compression tools, I built these kiosks
and painted them to look like water for the
exhibit Climate Change Oceans: Acid vs LIfe.
