Bruce Rosenbaum

President ModVic, LLC 36 Pleasant Street Sharon, MA 02067 781-784-0250 [email protected] www.modvic.com Bruce Rosenbaum has been dubbed the Steampunk Guru by the Wall Street Journal and Steampunk Evangelist by Wired Magazine. Bruce and his wife Melanie’s functional art Steampunk House has been featured in the Globe, The Chicago Tribune, The Times, CNN, Huffington Post, NPR and featured on MTV, A&E, Discovery and HGTV. You can take a virtual tour at www.modvic.com. Bruce’s company, ModVic, works with clients all across the country to take personal, meaningful objects, creatively combining them with relevant and cool period objects and machinery to transform the ordinary into incredible Steampunk functional art. The Steampunk art and design process celebrates history, while setting a path for a re-imagined better future -- telling the personal stories of individuals, families, organizations and places. He also now travels the country, not only educating others on how to do Steampunk design, but how repurposing and the ‘combination of opposites’ creative problem solving can help repurpose and transform our own lives with meaningful connections to the past, present and future.
