THE ANCHORAGE MUSEUM
This pro-bono project provided a special opportunity to work with the Anchorage Museum. The It's All Material exhibit, located on the central mezzanine, includes more than 100 objects. The display showcases artwork and crafts created by Alaskan artists, along with the raw materials used to make them. Exhibit graphics include title signage, wall and case graphics, labels, and interactive components.
Creative and project management responsibilities:
• Programming and coordination with museum exhibit curators
• Large-scale exhibit graphics and object display labeling
• Design and detailing of interactive elements

BEHIND THE SCENES
Material Message: Title and interactive wall graphics were designed to communicate the essence of the exhibit – highlighting the hands, tools, and materials used in the creation of displayed work.
Making It Happen: The Museum’s own curators and exhibit production team were close collaborators in the design, often working off-hours to provide their expertise. Internal production staff fabricated exhibit signage and interactive components in-house.
