I was hired by Haptic Workshop to assist with the design, fabrication, and installation of wood and metal structures to house an audio-visual experience for children to be able to interact with Santa as he socially distances from the North Pole due to COVID-19. The task of constructing, painting, transporting, and installing the brightly-colored wood, metal, and PVC presents was complicated by the extremely tight project schedule and the fact that the exhibit was designed to be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled due to its temporary nature. Careful design and material considerations were essential in order for the entire experience to be fabricated, test fitted in-shop, loaded into a box truck, and assembled on-site by two people over the course of one month.

I gained valuable experience working within rigid time constraints as well as design for assembly (DFA) as it relates to installation art.
