• Technical Assistance: Support the preparation of floor plans, zoning diagrams, and basic technical drawings for fabrication.

• Collaboration: Work alongside content, graphic, and UX designers to ensure the narrative is consistent across all touchpoints.

• Prototyping: Assist in the development of interactive displays and engagement "moments" within the exhibition space.

• Production Prep: Help manage asset lists, material samples, and design revisions during the production phase.

• Site Support: Attend site visits and assist the senior team during the installation and build-out process.
