  I am a design historian specializing in modern textiles, fashions, and interiors. With over twenty years’ experience in the museum field, my approach to education has always been informed by a holistic passion for decorative arts, design, and material culture. As an experienced design educator fluent in both academic and museum environments, I work to interpret museum objects, collections, and exhibition experiences for all audiences, making accessibility a priority. My skills bridge virtual, classroom, and in-gallery teaching spaces. In my role as a social media content curator for a major museum, I have honed my abilities to identify popular trends and marry them with collection artifacts to produce engaging educational material. I have also used institutional social media platforms to promote diversity and inclusion. Creative collaborations, project/team management, public programming, curriculum development, research, interpretation, and bringing people together in mutually supportive endeavors are my strengths. Most recently, I contributed to “A Dark, A Light, A Bright: The Designs of Dorothy Liebes” (2023, Yale University Press/Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum), the first major publication devoted to this pioneering, 20th-century American weaver. I am currently working on a book devoted to 20th-century American textile design. Please follow me on Instagram: @PatternPlayUSA Hollyhock House
