Last year I traveled to Minneapolis to attend a family wedding, and since I had some free time between activities, I had to escape and make time for a visit at the Walker Art Center. Museums are a favorite past time of mine when I get an opportunity to visit a city and I have heard so many good things about this particular one. I spent a few hours wandering the sculpture garden and the halls of the exhibits on view, flipping through the beautifully designed books in the museum shop, and sipping coffee at the cafe. I left with a lasting impression that this institution was one of the nicest in the midwest, and the country. I couldn’t wait to get back.
A few months ago, by chance, my mentor and long time friend Matt Owens reached out to me about an opportunity his twin brother Mark had at the Walker (he just happened to be the Design Director, previously unknown to me!). After connecting with Mark and hearing about the longstanding reputable design traditions still in tact at the Walker I was eager and excited to help out on an exciting brand refresh project with the museum. I’m looking forward to sharing more details and imagery from this project soon.
Endless gratitude and thanks to Mark and Matt and the entire team at the Walker for bringing me into the fold and including me in such a rewarding design experience.
