You have to start somewhere.
The Science Museum of Minnesota
Almost 30 years ago to the day, I started my advertising and marketing career with an internship at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Under the tutelage of Art Director Mark Odegard, I learned how to design, how to think in terms of visitor engagement and how to produce work that a team of people could rally behind. The first major work that I was involved with was for a show called, Dinosaurs!
Complete with animatronic dinos, fossils, complete skeletons and an array of interactive exhibits, the show became the largest the museum had ever put on. We even sailed the Apatosaurus down the Mississippi on a barge! Talk about some PR value! Artwork that I created found it’s way on to t-shirts, shopping bags, outdoor billboards and more. To this day, it is one of my fondest memories. No wonder I took to my work and have kept at it for all these years!
Today’s Science Museum of Minnesota has a new brand, built in with the equity of so many patrons, visitors and employees who made it all happen. The visit is well worth it.
