I am a multidisciplinary designer with a penchant for storytelling. I help create exhibitions through spatial and narrative design in conjunction with interpretive planning and research. On each project I begin by developing a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and then translate the content into a strong spatial and visual design program. I excel at thinking conceptually and then seeing ideas through to detailed design plans. My work strives to engage museum goers of all ages and abilities by creating environments that are engaging, accessible, and memorable. I currently work for the Peabody Essex Museum, which has the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating and collecting museum in the United States, and on contract for a number of organizations across the country. My previous work experience includes world-renowned exhibit design firm Ralph Appelbaum Associates and a wide variety of cultural institutions including the Museum of Science, the New-York Historical Society, George Washington's Mount Vernon, and the Smithsonian. With a B.A. in architecture from Smith College and a master’s degree in interior and exhibit design from Pratt Institute, my work is rooted in a deep appreciation for architectural history and how spatial design can convey stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8f16c9739a3e0456a24262/1620418562180-1X1X4QHXSDMLYH3B0PRZ/IMG_8334_crop+square.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8f16c9739a3e0456a24262/1620404318615-NDGW6ITMKXHW8ZLGXCEP/IMG_4975+v2_crop.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8f16c9739a3e0456a24262/1620404220044-5RCBW2YHZLU84EMHSGPY/IMG_2690_edited_crop.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8f16c9739a3e0456a24262/38e5e6e6-7dc0-4581-9d54-0d0548c61f62/0N9A4644.jpg Home As an exhibit designer I love the iterative process of taking a project from ideation to installation and then seeing visitors interact with my work. As a lifelong museum lover I chose to work in exhibits because I enjoy the constant opportunities to learn about new subject matter myself before translating that content into an engaging and educational experience for other museum goers. https://www.covattarivastudio.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-10-02 https://www.covattarivastudio.com/services daily 0.75 2025-10-02
