Summary
Christopher Cummings is a Senior Exhibit Designer with 11 years of professional experience crafting high-profile, integrated museum and visitor experiences for clients like the National Archives, NYU Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital, the Royal Alberta Museum and the National September 11 Memorial Museum. He combines a strong design sensibility and empathy with rigorous technical practice—producing fabrication documents, construction administration, media coordination and interdisciplinary collaboration from concept through installation. Trained at Carnegie Mellon (BFA, Entertainment Technology Center) and NYU ITP (MPS), he blends theatrical scenic/lighting roots with interactive media expertise to deliver award-winning, usable environments. Christopher has led and mentored teams, maintained office standards, and researched new tools to keep design processes nimble and production-ready. Outside the studio he’s a devoted urbanist, wildlife advocate and acoustic musician, a detail that often informs his human-centered approach to storytelling in physical spaces. Now based in Philadelphia, he continues to bridge interpretive strategy, technical delivery and thoughtful visitor engagement.
