    Most cities and states have an MWBE certification process and an online database with the companies. That is always my first go to.

    Blue Telescope, comes to mind,

    Again, depending on specific needs, MOEY does design/build projects and has interactive/multimedia capabilities in-house.

    Barbara, one that comes to mind is MDSX in Orlando.

    Can I use your post to ask a related question? Last year I learned from someone from MSI Chicago about an online resource that was specific to sharing infoamtion about BIPOC consultant designers and other museum related consultants. I bookmarked the site...and then my helpful teen cleaned up my bookmarks for me...any leads out there?

    Joe, thanks for the recommendation.  I don't know about the online resource to BIPOC consultant designers and other museum related consultants, but if you do  find it, could you please post it?  Maybe someone reading your post will know how to excavate your computer history to get to the deleted bookmarks.

    Cheers,

    Barbara

    Barbara-
    I could recommend Lynne Robinson at Black Robin Media. She is an accomplished video producer who has a lot of experience in the museum world. Let me know if you'd like an introduction.

    Hi Barbara!

    Adding a Hawai'i-based production company to this conversation.  Rock Salt Media.

    They focus primarily on Native Hawaiian, People of the Pacific and other indigenous stories. I am not sure how they intake new projects, but their work is wonderful! One - if not several - of the leaders have worked with Museums in various capacities in the state.
