Travis Helms

I am a Project Director at the Smithsonian Institution with over two decades of experience leading national initiatives, exhibitions, and cross-institutional collaborations. My work combines operational planning and creative design, with a focus on community engagement, digital innovation, and cultural infrastructure.

For more than ten years, I have drawn on Agile and Scrum practices as tools to help adaptive teams manage complex projects. Earning the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) credential formalizes that long-standing practice and reflects my commitment to collaborative, sustainable models of project management.
