“Live in the museum you say? Sure why not!”

That’s how this exhibit concept was born. The Museum of Science and Industry’s Month at the Museum received 1,500 applications asking for those interested in eating, sleeping and breathing science for 30-days while living inside the largest science center in the Western Hemisphere. The winner had full-access to every nook and cranny in the museum at all hours of the day and night. I was the exhibit graphic designer on the project, which allowed me to develop the brand and design the experience within the museum walls. For this project I collaborated with CB2 in Chicago to design both the public and private living quarters for our museum tenant. After spending weeks working with a bright orange palette, I was shocked to meet our winner Kate McGroarty, a girl with bright red hair. I presented her with a set of orange shirts that looked just like her hair, and we laughed about it all month long.
