Nate here!

Hello all, I'm Nate. I've been a part of J-2 for almost two years now. I'm also an exhibit designer for the great state of Kansas

I thought I'd share a bit about my job for the historical society. There are 5 people in the exhibits department, 2 graphic designers and 3 exhibit designers. We do everything from the initial sketches to the fabrication and the final installation. A lot of designers like to say they design from both directions, taking every issue form the beginning to the end user into account.. I think we can safely say we do that because we have to build, distribute and maintain our exhibits. Here are a few examples of the work we do:

We are currently working on the Sports exhibit. The exhibit includes a stadium front, a fan's room, a hometown cafe, and a bowling alley! It opens on Friday, so if you're in the area come visit!

Our last project was Shawnee Indian Mission. We got to practice our fine wood working skills





























The great thing about working at the museum is that I constantly have to challenge myself and that helps me be a better designer for J-2 and in everything else I do.
