About Process Curiosity
At Process Curiosity, design isn’t just about how things look—it’s about how people feel, engage, and connect. We believe the world learns best through play, wonder, and exploration. We design and fabricate immersive, interactive experiences for museums, science centers, and cultural institutions that invite visitors to lean in, tinker, and explore. Our team has created environments for Disney, Universal Studios, Amazeum, The Tech Interactive, National Children’s Museum, libraries, and more—blending world-class design with human-centered storytelling.

This role is part of Process Curiosity’s leadership circle, collaborating with the CEO, COO, Production Project Manager, and CDO to align creative, planning, and production efforts. The Creative Director will also support business development efforts, representing PC at industry events, building relationships with clients, and championing our mission in every interaction.
