“I approach curating as a design process. An exhibition needs to be shaped relative to its context and the space it will take place in, to communicate the narrative easily.

Exhibitions provide a great way to form long-lasting connections with consumers. by highlighting the relationship between idea, design, maker and material.”

 
 
 

Event design centred around the spectator’s journey through your space.

The research and organisation is all taken care of, allowing you to focus on the day-to-day and engaging with your clientele.
