.130 I.S.

In my two and a half years working in the museum world, few came close to the genuine passion and unassuming kindness that I encountered with I.S. Her focus and dedication to her craft are both inspiring and encouraging, and I am grateful to have crossed paths with her. Even just seeing her around the museum would always give me a sense of joy and motivation, especially in a workplace where there are hundreds and hundreds of colleagues, many of whom you never even know the name of.

What stands out to me the most is probably her willingness to help and create an incredible experience, no matter how large or small the initiative or event. We did an event with her department and ours and she was absolutely lovely to work with. She wanted the evening to be wonderful for our guests and thought through so many of the smallest details in order to make the experience what it was: fabulous!

I.S., thank you for being so thoughtful and compassionate. Thank you for your humility and gentle kindness that is deeply appreciated by me and so many others. Thank you for being you.
