All projects are different, however my input might typically include:
-
Set up
Clarifying, or helping to define, the pitch or project brief against overall aims.
Running workshops to align top-down and bottom-up ways of working.
Generating diagrams that capture the key ideas, and often complex narratives, in the simplest way.
Liaise with project partners, and align programmes.
-
Collaborate
Content design: identifying the most relevant means and assets (not necessarily an ‘exhibition of objects’) to engage audiences with ideas and key messages.
Bridging interpretation and design principles.
Alignment with programming and activity plans.
Stakeholder engagement and presentations at key stages.
-
Output
Proposals that ‘stack up’ in relation to a clear rationale, and across disciplines.
Concept sketches and visuals.
Spatial planning and visitor flow analysis.
In essence, strong foundations for visitor experience concepts that can be taken beyond funding or planning applications into design development and implementation.
