Summary
Brett Renfer is a Senior Project Manager specializing in emerging technologies and experience design, with over 15 years crafting narrative-rich, architectural-scale responsive environments. Currently leading pilots and cross-department partnerships at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, he blends technical direction with cultural stewardship across Digital, Education, Publications, Imaging, Libraries, and Live Arts. His career includes design leadership roles at Bluecadet, Collins, and Rockwell Group, delivering interactive media for clients like Google, Intel, NASA, and major museums. An educator and workshop leader, he has taught at Parsons and NYU’s ITP, preferring hands-on workshops that translate theory into visitor-facing work. He’s driven by creating experiences that feel deeply authentic to content, institution, audience, and a visitor’s journey, often working at the intersection of storytelling, architecture, and technology. Based in Brooklyn, he balances a maker’s curiosity with institutional practice—bringing library-worthy rigor (and a personal collection of books and records) to public-facing digital experiences.
