Museum exhibit design, fabrication, and installation with project management
Design and Production Incorporated operates as a full-service exhibit contractor for museums and cultural institutions, handling everything from preconstruction planning through fabrication and on-site installation. The tech stack reflects a hybrid engineering and production operation: CAD/BIM tools (AutoCAD, Visio, Bluebeam), AV/control systems (Extron, Crestron, Lutron, Arduino, Raspberry Pi), and enterprise project management (Procore, Microsoft Project, Sage 300). Hiring velocity is accelerating with 8 roles posted in the last 30 days—predominantly senior and mid-level engineers across fabrication, construction, and AV disciplines—suggesting they're scaling production capacity and technical depth for larger, more complex installations.
