About Marie Foulston

A creative director of experiential design and playful curatorI’ve led the creative vision for headline exhibitions, immersive installations, XR projects, arcade club nights and parties in spreadsheets. I’m a leading expert on videogame design and culture and specialise in experiences that incorporate play, interaction and innovative uses of tech and AV.I thrive when working with the ephemeral, complex and unconventional. I believe the most impactful work is that which isn't afraid to explore the absurd and the speculative but is centered in story, research and is born from collaboration.Recent collaborators and clients include the V&A, the Design Museum, Somerset House, PlayStation, the Cooper Hewitt, Netflix, the Folger Institute, Nintendo, Nexus Studios, ACMI, Squint Opera and LAS.I am actively seeking new opportunities and collaborations. If my experience and approach sounds like a good fit for a project or role then please get in touch via the email address below.
