— Winston Kelley, Executive Director at the NASCAR Hall of Fame
The client team associated with the NASCAR Hall of Fame was quite diverse, and for some period of time without direct museum design and operations experience and expertise.
Carolynne brought an extensive and knowledgeable background that helped us ask the right questions and make informed and educated decisions as we worked with our Exhibit Designers and Architects to evaluate and prioritize varying interests and perspectives.
