Work on What You Love exhibition

I design experiences that spark social change.

Work on What You Love: Bruce Mau Rethinking Design exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
March 2015–April 2016


In collaboration with Bruce Mau and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I led the exhibition design, content development, and project management of Work on What You Love: Bruce Mau Rethinking Design. The exhibition featured Bruce Mau’s design methodology, 24Hours2MassiveChange, applied to nine current and previous projects. By illuminating the thought process behind the projects and displaying the intellectual tools used, the exhibition aimed to inspire and inform the future of design.

A carefully calibrated mix of oversized wall text, artifacts, projected video, and interactive touch screens invited visitors to explore the methodology. Workshops developed with the museum and several Philadelphia organizations applied the methodology to local civic challenges.
