We build the touchscreen applications inside museum kiosks, exhibit stations, and trade show installations. We keep them running after they open. We work directly with museums, and as the software partner for exhibit design and fabrication firms.
Recent work
01 — SPAM MUSEUM / HORMEL FOODS
A branching variety quiz and a build-your-own food innovation station, built into the museum's exhibit millwork. Both reset between visitors and keep running through the museum's full open hours.

02 — FLORIDA CHILDREN'S MUSEUM
A sound mixer in a road case, a listening booth, weather radar inside a news van built into the wall, and a digital periscope with thermal mode. Every one runs in both English and Spanish, with controls suited for children.

03 — ICBA / SHOW FLOOR + WEB
Community bank lending mapped state by state on a large-format touch table for a national trade show booth, plus a companion data map. One codebase runs both the booth and the public website.
OUR ROLE: SOFTWARE & DATA
What you get
For exhibit designers & fabricators
You keep the client, the design, and the millwork. We handle the software under your name, in your project system, on your schedule — and stay off the client call if that's how you run things. When an exhibit goes down on a Saturday, you reach me directly.
Questions
Both. Museums hire us directly for a single interactive or a full gallery. Exhibit design firms, fabricators, and AV integrators bring us in as the software partner and keep the client relationship.
Yes, and it comes up often. The original developer moved on, the agency closed, or nobody was ever given the source code. We adopt existing exhibits, get them stable and documented, and put them under a maintenance agreement.
Where it makes sense, yes. Text, images, questions, and audio can be put in a simple editor your team controls. We'll agree up front on which parts need to change and which don't, so the system doesn't become its own maintenance job.
The earlier the better, because it saves money. Once the case is fabricated, the screen size, mounting angle, and reach range are already decided, and those shape what the software can do. That said, we've joined projects mid-build many times.
No. That's the normal shape of this work. We're glad to help with a grant proposal or budget narrative before there's money to spend, and we'll hold scope and pricing while funding comes together.
Contact
You don't need a finished design or approved funding to get in touch. If you need a realistic software number for a grant application, we can help with that too.
