My Brain For Rent

I've been thinking about how I can help museum folks, especially in the United States, weather this particular moment when cultural institutions of all types are being pressured to do more with less.

So I'm leaning into the notion of "My Brain for Rent" to create lower-cost, shorter-term opportunities to work together to come up with creative solutions to your current challenges.

With over 40 years in the field, I help museums of all sizes think bigger, do more with less, and build the internal capacity needed for long-term success. Whether you’re reimagining an exhibit, stretching a tight budget, or strengthening your team, I bring fresh ideas, strategic connections, and a no-nonsense approach to get things done.

I’ve worked with museums and cultural institutions around the world—large and small, established and emerging—to turn vision into reality. My approach blends deep industry knowledge with real-world practicality and a dash of creative mischief. If you’re looking for honest feedback, innovative thinking, and someone who can move projects from idea to implementation, you’ve come to the right place.
