Tyler Davis
@tylerdavis
I design immersive exhibits, consumer products, and brand experiences from concept through fabrication.
What I'm looking for
I've designed immersive exhibits for Loveland Living Planet Aquarium and Discovery Gateway Childrenβs Museum, from early concepts and interpretive signage to habitat enclosures, construction documents, and fabrication.
At Rimports USA, I developed consumer products, including the Rimports scent charm unit, while creating product graphics, CAD models, renderings, trend research, packaging, and in-store signage. I also led brand development for the Scentsationals Edison line and designed trade-show booths for Walmart conventions.
My background in illustration, animation, 3D sculpting, printing, and production helps me turn ideas into buildable, visually engaging experiences.
