About
Hello
I am an exhibition designer driven by a passion for bringing objects, art, stories and ideas to life through creative design thinking.
A successful process starts with a deep shared understanding of a client's brief and motivations, followed by creating a framework for effective collaboration to lever the best possible outcomes for your audiences and budget.
I believe that exhibition experiences need to be distinct and moving; fully exploiting a project's strongest assets and the unique context of each site. I have honed this philosophy through designing over 150 exhibitions over the last 20 years; ranging from whole museum redevelopments to smaller object displays.
