Hello, I’m Scotty.
Exhibition Maker, Artist, Author
I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, where an 1845 farmhouse and a 1700s log barn sparked my early fascination with buildings and history. That curiosity led me to study architecture at the University of Kentucky before moving to Washington, DC, to work on residential, educational, and hospitality projects.
I later shifted to exhibition design and earned a graduate degree from the Corcoran College of Art + Design. Since then, I’ve built a career at the intersection of architecture, interpretation, and public engagement.
Over the past decade, I’ve contributed to more than 100 exhibitions—primarily at the National Building Museum and the District Architecture Center. My work spans exhibition planning and design, visual communication, program development, and audience engagement, with an emphasis on narrative-driven spatial experiences shaped through collaboration.
A Simple Belief

My work is guided by a simple belief: when people connect with the building arts and the stories they hold, they begin to see their communities—and their role in shaping them—more clearly.
Let’s grab coffee, talk shop, and explore ways to bring the stories of our built world to life.
