Turning Curious Ideas into Interactive Experience

Bikeshop Agency partners with exhibit designers to bring hands-on, playful museum concepts to life through custom electronics, AV, and Interactive systems.

 
 

What Bikeshop Agency Does

We design and build custom interactive experiences for children’s museums. Working alongside exhibit designers, we take creative concepts—sometimes still a little fuzzy—and turn them into reliable, playful, real-world installations using custom electronics, sensors, lighting, audio, and software.

If your exhibit needs to sense, respond, light up, make sound, or behave in a way that doesn’t exist off the shelf, that’s where Bikeshop Agency fits in.

Bikeshop Agency works as the interactive and AV partner within larger exhibit teams. I collaborate closely with exhibit designers, fabricators, and museum staff—focusing on the electronics, software, and systems that make experiences come alive.

You bring the story, spatial design, and creative vision.

I bring the technical translation, prototyping, and execution.

How We Partner

Our Expertise

  • Translating creative concepts into working interactive systems

  • Designing and building custom electronics

  • Creating responsive lighting and LED environments

  • Integrating audio, video, and physical interaction

  • Prototyping, testing, and refining for real-world use by kids

Every project is different. The common thread is making technology feels invisible, intuitive, and fun

The Tools Behind the Magic

We work across a wide range of interactive technologies, choosing tools based on the experience—not the other way around.

This often includes:

  • Microcontrollers and custom electronics

  • Sensors (motion, touch, proximity, environmental)

  • LED systems and dynamic lighting control

  • Audio and video systems for exhibits

  • Custom software and real-time interaction logic

The goal is always the same: make the experience feel effortless and inviting for kids.

PROJECTS

We do a lot of things really well. See our project portfolio for other museum projects that we’ve completed over the past months and years.

Not a bike shop

In the summer our bikes are parked near in the front window of our office, and people often poke their head in the door to ask if we’re a bike shop.

We are not.

Let’s Make Your Idea Work

If you’re an exhibit designer or museum team looking for a technical partner who understands play, collaboration, and the realities of building for kids—I’d love to help bring your idea to life.
