I'm working on a personal project (slowly) to open a cafe/bar venue that is also a design incubator for participatory exhibits. My strategy is: make it work really well, research what works and doesn't, and share the design lessons with the world. Recently, I've been wrestling a lot with the relationship between innovation and impact.

Our entire strategy at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History is rooted in community participation. When I share these stories at conferences, someone always asks: what about institutions that serve millions of visitors each year?
