Background

In 1968, I set up my own design firm which has specialised in the planning and design of museums and exhibitions – very often with a research and editorial role.

My partnerships have worked on some 200 projects across the world, including Australia,
New Zealand, USA, Poland, Jordan, Venezuela,Cuba and the UK.

Many of these have won national and international awards including the Museum of the Year
for Britain and the Museum of Europe.

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to inspired clients who have ‘owned’ their projects in such creative ways, who have respected my ignorance of their academic disciplines, but have recognised the surprising things that can arise from trust and the meeting of open minds.

I have been privileged to be part of the many fundamental and exciting developments in the museum world since the mid 1960s. I believe that I am good at recognising the essentials and ‘shape’ of a project and the creative talents of all the team members.

I am now working as a consultant with my former partner David McCabe.
