As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the incredible work and the talented people that make 1220 Exhibits what it is today. We’ve had the privilege to work on some amazing projects, from designing immersive museum experiences to creating custom exhibits that tell the stories of history. But the real driving force behind everything we do is our people.
At 1220, we pride ourselves on creating a workplace where our team feels empowered, engaged, and inspired. Whether it’s bringing creative visions to life, solving complex challenges, or collaborating across departments, our team members share a passion for excellence and a commitment to helping our clients succeed. We asked a few of our employees to reflect on what they love most about working here. Their answers capture the heart of what makes 1220 such a special place. Because you know what they say: If you love where you work, you never work a day in your life.
Craig Dunn, Senior VP
“My favorite part about working at 1220 is the people. A lot of good people, a lot of nice people, a lot of talented people, a lot of fun people, and we get to work on fun projects together. We get to experience a lot of different building methods and ways of doing things, meet a lot of different people, and go to neat places. And we get to help people tell stories about their history.”
Katy Land, Marketing Manager
“I think it’s a very unique market and a very unique job to do marketing for. It’s also super educational to learn about all of our different projects, and I love finding new ways to showcase all of our different capabilities.”
Terry Pritchett, Fabricator
“My favorite thing about working at 1220 is creativity. I never do the same thing twice.”
Matt Carden, CEO
“Every day is different from the last. You might come into work thinking you’re dealing with one thing and you’re dealing with another. So I’d say it’s the diversity of things that happen every day—people, projects, clients, opportunities, and challenges that need solutions.”
Barry Owen, Estimating Manager
“I think the best thing is doing different things on a daily basis, not the same old thing day after day after day.”
