Project Manager @ ATELIER BRÜCKNER

About

I help cultural institutions translate vision into reality. My work spans museums, exhibitions, and large scale international projects across Europe and the Middle East, including multiple award winning visitor experiences. From early strategic framing to built outcomes, I lead cultural initiatives that require clarity of vision, stakeholder alignment, and coordination across multidisciplinary consultant teams. With a background in industrial design, exhibition design, and innovation strategy, my work is at the intersection of storytelling, spatial design, and institutional ambition. I collaborate closely with leadership teams, curators, designers, planners, and technical specialists to guide projects from vision through to delivery. I am particularly interested in creating narrative driven environments where digital and physical layers converge to shape meaningful cultural experiences. If you are shaping a museum, exhibition, or cultural initiative and looking for experienced design leadership, let’s connect. 👋
