.241 Frank Javier Mondragón

One of the first words that comes to mind when I think of Frank is “patient.” As one of designers I’d often work with at the museum, Frank was constantly handling my requests with patience, care, and the utmost attention to detail and quality. He matched this work ethic with an incredible calming and kind presence and personality, making him a true treasure of a colleague and human being.

Even just seeing Frank around the museum was refreshing and sweet. He’s so wonderfully nice and compassionate to everyone around him, and I appreciated his ability to be kind especially in moments of stress or a time crunch. I genuinely just really feel grateful to have worked with and been a witness to Frank’s skill sets and respect. He’s a gentleman and I’m lucky to have crossed paths with him at the museum.

Frank, thank you so much for your creative eye and visions. Thank you for your beautiful designs and ideas, and thank you for always being supportive when I came to you with a different idea or path. Thank you for doing such great work and for being so kind in the process. Thank you for being so sweet to me. Thank you, Frank, for being you.
