Daenerys Targaryen

I build hands-on science exhibits, 34 of them so far across 6 museums, and I still test every prototype on real visitors before a single panel gets printed. My interactives survive an average of 9 years on the floor, which I consider my most honest metric. The diagram below is offered in the spirit of the era it borrows from: skeptically.

KEY TO THE NUMBERED ORGANS
No.	Faculty	Practical Reading
1	Prototypia	Rapid mockups: cardboard, plywood, hot glue
2	Interactivitas	Mechanical and sensor-driven interactives
3	Durabilitas	Designing for 2,000 visitor hands per day
4	Narrativum	Label writing, story arcs, bilingual copy
5	Evaluatio	Visitor studies, dwell-time tracking, A/B floor tests
6	Fabricatio	CNC, laser cutting, museum-grade finishes
7	Curiositas	Turning research papers into things you can poke
8	Budgetum	Delivering under fixed grants, usually with kronor to spare

PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

Senior Exhibit Developer · Norrsken Science Centre, Stockholm

2019 – PRESENT

Led development of "Friction Lab," a 420 m² permanent gallery with 17 interactives; average dwell time of 31 minutes, measured across 1,200 tracked visits.
Cut exhibit maintenance callouts by 44% over two years by redesigning the 8 highest-failure mechanisms with sealed bearings and fewer moving parts.
Ran 26 floor evaluation sessions with school groups; findings changed the final design of 11 of 17 stations.

Exhibit Developer · Kuststad Maritime Museum, Gothenburg

2014 – 2019

Built 12 interactives for the "Below the Keel" hall, including a 4-metre wave tank that has run daily since 2016 with one pump replacement.
Wrote and tested bilingual labels for 60 objects; comprehension scores in exit surveys rose from 58% to 81%.

Fabrication Technician · Verkstad Blå AB, Malmö

2011 – 2014

Fabricated casework and mechanisms for 9 travelling exhibitions shipped to 14 venues across the Nordics.
Introduced a pre-shipment stress checklist that reduced on-site repair hours by roughly a third.
