Interpretation Planning
Interpretation is how people connect with a place, collection or organisation, and a strong interpretation plan is the foundation of a meaningful visitor experience.
I work with clients to uncover their stories, clarify their vision and shape clear, compelling themes and messages. Grounded in research into audiences, content and visitor behaviour, my approach ensures interpretation is relevant, accessible and engaging. My experience spans successful National Lottery Heritage Fund applications, site-wide masterplans and community-led projects, as well as the delivery of interpretation for museums, visitor centres and outdoor sites of all scales.
I’m particularly committed to widening access to cultural experiences – helping organisations reach more people by removing social and cultural barriers and creating opportunities for everyone to connect.
Creative Engagement
I help clients to create interactive experiences and engagement activities that bring stories, collections and ideas to life. From early concepts through to installation, I support clients in developing exhibitions, digital experiences, family resources and hands-on interactive exhibits that are engaging, practical and tailored to a range of budgets. I am experienced in all aspects of content creation including storytelling, image research and writing engaging copy for a wide range of audiences.
With a background in science communication, I’m particularly interested in weaving stories from the worlds of science and industry into wider social narratives, opening up new ways for audiences to connect. My approach is grounded in audience research, user testing and best practice, creating inclusive, enjoyable experiences that spark curiosity and encourage participation for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Project Management
I provide thoughtful, well-structured project management for creative and heritage projects, with a strong emphasis on collaboration, community and shared ownership. I work closely with clients, partners and stakeholders to build clear processes that support creativity while keeping projects on track, on time and on budget.
My approach brings together interdisciplinary teams – designers, curators, community partners, academics and makers – ensuring everyone’s voice is heard and aligned with the project vision. I am experienced in managing projects funded by bodies such as the National Lottery Heritage Fund, with a clear understanding of governance, reporting and evaluation requirements, and I understand the pressures on teams delivering capital projects.
From early planning through to delivery, I prioritise communication, transparency and adaptability. This creates the conditions for creative work to flourish, while delivering meaningful, high-quality outcomes for organisations and the communities they serve.
