• Interpretive Exhibition Design
• Engaging visitors of all ages with content
• Creating playful immersive environments
• Sustainable design
• 3d and 2d design from concept through to detailed design
• Overseeing production and installation
I have over 20 years’ experience of designing interactive exhibitions for Museums and Visitor centres. I am particularly passionate about finding interesting and playful ways to engage visitors with exhibition themes, using lively and varied interpretive styles and catering for different audiences and learning styles.
I am experienced at working from initial concept design through to detailed design and overseeing the tendering process, fabrication and installation in both 3d and 2d design. I understand the rigorous demands required of exhibition interactives and the sensitivities involved in displaying museum objects.
I have designed temporary, travelling and permanent exhibitions. I have very much enjoyed designing play spaces for younger audiences, but also the challenges involved in the display of delicate artworks.

- Workshop / activity development
After spending nearly all of my working life in the arts and cultural sector or the formal education field as both a qualified heritage professional and fully qualified and experienced formal education specialist I am uniquely able to give both a museum and education perspective to projects.
I have been immersed in the principles, theory and practice of heritage, museums, collections and exhibitions for all of this time and expand my knowledge by regular attendance at training courses and networking events, as well as regularly visiting other cultural venues in both my professional work and in my personal life.
I have always taken a visitor-focused approach to my work, firmly believing that without a positively engaged audience – what is the point? In my work I am well known for my constant questioning and always asking – “is this what our audience wants?”.
