Exhibit Design
Doug Holt
Designer
Doug has been with Adler Display for 10 years. His Dad, who is a photographer, instilled a strong creative drive in Doug. He pursued this creative drive, by earning a BA in Fine Arts from a small Liberal Arts school in Maine. He grew interested in design after realizing a career in the fine arts probably was not realistic.
“It’s not often you find yourself loving what you do for a living,” Doug said, “and I’m lucky to be doing just that. There is still a sense of excitement that comes with (most) new projects; a feeling I hope to never lose.”
When he is not sitting in front of a computer screen with his headphones on, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons, who never fail to keep him busy.
