I’m a graphic and motion designer specialising in exhibition design for the heritage and cultural sectors, with over a decade of experience delivering permanent and travelling exhibitions across the UK and Australia.
I work closely with exhibition designers, interpretation teams and museum curators to bring stories to life through visual identities, interpretive graphics and animation. I specialise in translating complex historical, scientific, and cultural narratives into clear, engaging experiences, from the gallery floor through to digital and promotional contexts.
Exhibition branding gives an exhibition a clear and consistent visual identity, helping visitors recognise the exhibition, find their way through it, and understand how different elements relate to each other. A well-considered brand also allows an exhibition to be promoted, updated, or toured without losing its character.

2D interpretation aims to present information clearly and accessibly within gallery spaces. Thoughtful layout, text hierarchy, and pacing can support both quick engagement and longer reading, helping visitors understand content without overwhelming them.

Publications and marketing materials can extend the exhibition beyond the gallery. These materials reinforce the exhibition’s visual language while providing take-home references, learning resources, and promotional content for visitors, educators, and wider audiences.
Exhibition catalogues and guides
Posters, flyers, and promotional print
Education and learning resources
Presentation material for media and stakeholders
Motion graphics and animation help communicate ideas in an immediate and engaging way. Used for screens, digital interactives, and online platforms, animation can often help explain complex processes, historical timelines and change in a clear and engaging way, while remaining visually aligned with the exhibition as a whole.
