Whatever the project, I believe excellence stems from working collaboratively, testing new ideas, and striving to make things better.From theatre sets to science museums, I have always worked in creative teams making works for public consumption. In recent years I have been looking at removing the divide between the traditional roles of audience and producer by exploring ways in which the public and community groups can be directly involved in the design and realisation of work.As the Director of HKD I manage creative teams of 2D and 3D designers. I believe all projects should be creative multi-sensory social experiences where visitors are empowered to participate. The emphasis I place on the people shapes both the work I produce and the working culture that I foster within teams.In addition to my directorial position at HKD, in 2011 I co-founded an independent social enterprise called Marine Studios. This project space/gallery was added to HKD's studio as a place to explore new ideas, encourage curiosity, and bring people together.
