OUR VISION

Dala Projects connects people to the power of discovery through art, science, nature, and culture. Founded on the belief that access to dynamic experiences can change lives, we partner with museums and cultural organizations to create and share traveling exhibitions that inspire curiosity, deepen engagement, and strengthen institutional sustainability.

Our work is guided by a simple idea: that wonder has a ripple effect. A child’s moment of discovery can spark a lifetime of learning and a lasting connection to the world around them. Each exhibition we develop helps museums reach new audiences, generate meaningful earned revenue, and continue doing what they do best—enriching communities through knowledge, creativity, and shared experience.

At its heart, Dala Projects honors the places that open doors for all of us and works to ensure that every visitor, regardless of background, can experience the joy of discovery. We build exhibitions that travel far and stay close to the heart.

I’m focused on helping traveling exhibitions succeed through thoughtful planning, strong execution, and smart market strategy. As Project Executive at Dala Projects, I develop new approaches to existing markets while managing active exhibition projects from planning through execution. With a background in sales, business strategy, and team leadership, I enjoy working closely with creative and project management teams to identify new opportunities, support exhibitions on tour, and drive sustainable growth.
