Before joining AiG to design the Creation Museum and later the Ark Encounter, Marsh was the director of design for Dream Makers in Japan. Marsh earned his bachelor’s degree in industrial design and his master’s degree in environmental design from the University of California, Los Angeles. The fruits of Marsh’s work will be seen by millions of guests over the coming years as these additions are built at both sites. In recent years, Marsh and Ham had also been collaborating on additional phases for both the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, with renderings already drawn. At his death, Marsh was overseeing the total redesign of the museum’s large Palm Plaza section, which will include a stunning pro-life exhibit Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. I will miss him dearly, not only as a colleague but as a friend.”įor twenty years, Marsh took Ham’s ideas and, with remarkable creativity, made them into three-dimensional reality. Calling him a ‘genius’ is not an overstatement. I have never worked with a more creative person. Ken Ham, AiG founder and CEO, declared: “Patrick’s fingerprints are all over the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter.

In 2019, a USA Today readers’ poll picked the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum as America’s top two faith-based attractions, another credit to his world-class work.

For more than 50 years, Marsh’s skills and expertise redefined quality and craftsmanship in projects such as the coordination of 50 designers for the grounds of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles and the dramatic unveiling of the refurbished Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor in 1986.
