I'm Maggie, a museum exhibit developer based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. For the past decade I've led over 25 exhibit teams and written over a thousand museum labels.
My process is about listening, taking risks, and being open to new directions. It's important to me to build community partnerships and project budgets around these values.
When I'm not in museums, I'm outdoors in Minnesota parks with my dog. Watercolors are my way of seeing the world.
