Project Leadership:
Architecture + Planning + Engagement
Alissa Rupp, FAIA, established FRAME to steward the space where architecture, exhibit design, strategic planning and myriad other design strategies come together. The projects that emerge, with her leadership, reflect the values, hopes and dreams of those who care for them.
Capture the big picture and bring it into focus.
Synthesize complex information so that it can be useful, informative, and well-realized.
Help clarify project goals, and work to make them accessible, tangible and real.
Value being attentive AND audacious; think strategically while allowing big ideas to flourish.
Keep the joy of learning and the value of play at the heart of the work.
FRAME the project!
Create the context, edges and drawing boards for the big ideas.
“Alissa kept visitor experience, fundraising, schedule and programming in mind throughout the project, never forgetting that learning through play was at the heart of our mission. She led the design process, and set us up for success. She has been a go-to person for our team from day one.”
~ Putter Bert, CEO, KidsQuest Children’s Museum
