PROCESS :
I was hired as a staff designer for The Tech when The Tech was known as "the Garage." The prototype space was a great proving ground for ideas. I was one of 4 designers. We were each responsible to concentrate on one gallery and to work together to create a common vision and vocabulary.
In designing the communications gallery I worked with technology partners including AT&T, Elo Touchscreens, Motorola, Active Worlds and Protozoa, animation motion capture experts in San Francisco.
I continue to work for The Tech as a consultant. It has been a great opportunity to see the evolution of the museum as components are evaluated and re-thought. Being a part of the changes has been very educational. I created the internet exhibit concept in 2004. I also designed the new innovation interactives with Peggy Monahan and designed the interactive components of the "Wet Lab" exhibit in the Life Tech gallery in 2005. You can see a couple of images of those exhibits in the slide show above.
