The real Norse Gods. Before Marvel made them cool.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
We needed a way to showcase the real Gods of the Vikings in a gallery exhibit. So, I picked up my pen like Thor wielding his hammer, and the rest is history. No, really. There’s so. Much. History. Here. Seriously, bring snacks.
MY ROLE
- Research & Concepts: I led the research phase of the project and crafted some high-level copy concepts. You could say I was on an epic quest, like a literary Thor.
- Naming: I brainstormed naming options in the early stages.
- Writing: I swooped back in during the production phase to hammer out the plaque copy to perfection.
- Proofreading: I led the final quality checks, letting nothing slip by me. Not even that trickster Loki could outsmart my proofreading superpowers.
RESULTS & IMPACT
- Curated a gallery that honored Norse mythology while seamlessly integrating with the Norway pavilion in true Disney fashion. It was like bringing Valhalla to Epcot.
- Nominated for several prestigious awards, earning us some serious street cred—Odin would be proud.
- Became one of the most popular galleries at Epcot, attracting more visitors than Thor’s fan club.
