What is an exhibition designer?

An exhibition designer plans and lays out exhibits for venues like public and trade shows, conferences, and museum or art gallery installations. As an exhibit designer, you must be able to effectively communicate your client’s message to the exhibit’s audience. Your duties include meeting with clients to determine a theme or review the objects to be displayed, establishing budgets, and scheduling the project to completion. You also interact with clients throughout the design phase to collect feedback, make changes, and design a 3D model in a CAD software program. In some positions, you may supervise the display installation as well.
