Director of Production

Websitehttps://boxart.com
I have worked at Boxart Inc., a fine art packing and crating company, since 1997.
In that time I have packed art in museums, galleries, artist’s studios, auction
houses, and in private collections. I am currently the Director of Production at
Boxart, where I both help to design and formulate packing solutions for art
works, as well as manage the day-to-day operations of running a crate shop of
carpenters and a crew of on-site and in-house art handlers and packing
technicians . I also have a hand in helping direct the overall mission for Boxart,
and to this end participate as much as possible in on going education about
conservation standards and industry methods.
