DON’T LET THE WORD “MUSEUM” FOOL YOU
We all love the Eames chair, but you won’t find a retrospective on it at MODA. This place enthusiastically embraces what’s now and what’s next. One weekend, I was taking in a wearable tech exhibition, and I noticed how much writing had gone into it. Recognizing that need and wanting to support design in my city, I introduced myself to MODA’s director and volunteered my skills. I’ve been working with these fantastic folks ever since to make exhibition copy succinct and clear.
EXHIBITION:
FOOD BY DESIGN
Everybody has to eat. But how can we choices that are good for us and the planet? This exhibition looks at innovative ideas that are being prototyped, tested, and implemented to address food deserts, waste, carbon footprints, and more.
“Katelyn’s volunteer work at MODA has been invaluable. She has helped us make our exhibition copy more compelling and easier for visitors to understand. She works quickly and follows up to make sure that she’s met the project’s needs. She’s is a great writer, and we’re lucky to have her on the museum’s team.” – Laura Flusche, Executive Director, Museum of Design Atlanta
EXHIBITION: DESIGNING PLAYFUL CITIES
All work, no play? Not anymore. Urban designers are bringing moments of whimsey and interaction into cities. This exhibition looks at some of those ways, and why play matters.
