Client Testimonials

Maryanna Ramirez
Director
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Portland State University

I am so grateful to Hungry Mantis for their thoughtful and timely work. I had two exhibitions installed at our museum, but we were closed due to the pandemic. Rachel and Forrest created engaging 360 tours and videos for both shows. I really appreciated their collaborative approach. They clearly presented all of the options and worked with me to identify the tools that would best showcase my intent. In addition, they provided great suggestions and feedback along the way. I would highly recommend them!
