Design Museum Boston
Design Consultant
In-house design consultant during Design Museum Boston's residency in Massachusetts' largest startup accelerator MassChallenge.
I was tasked with unifying the branding of each individual museum exhibit beginning with Design Museum Boston's Street Seats Design competition. This ultimately led to the design of The Doticon; a standardized, logo-ized mark to be used for all future events and exhibits.
In addition to the branding for Street Seats, I played an integral role in the formation of contest and designed various assets such as the call for entries document which was given to each contest applicant, and the DMB Beacon.
Creating web-ready media was yet another focus -- I filmed, edited, and scored a number of Creative Mornings, Unite events, gallery openings, and a mini half-hour documentary covering a one-day rebranding of the local Boston startup New Art Love, hosted by The Brandhack.
