About Us

Mind Opera is a creative studio that creates high-impact experiences for widescreen and multi-display installations and events. With our technical expertise in Dataton’s WATCHOUT system, we efficiently guide ideas from concept to screen. Known for our collaborative nature, Mind Opera melds with your organization and process on the design, programming, display and maintenance of branded visual content.

David Johnson is the founder and president of Mind Opera. He graduated from the Brooks Institute of Photography and has worked with leading brands since 1994, when he started Mind Opera. David oversees a studio with roots in photography, film and marketing communications. Because of this background, Mind Opera balances the science of WATCHOUT with the art of visual storytelling and branding. Our understanding of composition, timing, lighting, music and venue dynamics helps to bridge the design process and deliver emotional experiences for display on multiple screens.

Mind Opera is a proud member of the American Association of Museums, the American Marketing Association and Ad Club Seattle.
