Nathan Adkisson, Creative Director at Local Projects, designs spaces where words talk back and immersive storytelling blends seamlessly with architecture. His team led the development of Planet Word Museum of Language Arts in Washington, DC. As the world’s first voice-activated museum, it responds to visitors in real time and has drawn over 500,000 guests to date. At the University of Maryland, Nathan led the design of Do Good Plaza, an interactive outdoor installation that blends art, education and advocacy and now draws over 20,000 visitors annually. In Georgia, he helped reimagine the Columbus Museum during its $25 million renovation, adding a new welcome experience and Children’s Gallery inspired by the local landscape — a project that earned national recognition as USA Today’s Best New Museum in America. Across every project, Nathan brings clarity, vision and depth, helping institutions connect with audiences in ways that are fresh, human and built to last.
