Profile Information

About Me:
I've worked in exhibition planning and design for the past 10 years. Originally a scientist, I left the lab in the late 90s to move into science communication, then setting up new science centres in the UK, and finally museum exhibition design more generally.

I work in Business Development and Interpretive Planning for Exhibition Studios, a specialist exhibition design and build firm based in Adelaide. I'm also currently the Secretary of the SA Branch of Museums Australia.

I'm interested in design as a communication medium, visitor studies, and the design of interactive and participatory exhibits.
