Welcome
I offer consultancy services in the cultural sector, particularly in the fields of physical and intellectual access to museum collections and the built environment.What I can provide
- ideas - lateral thinking
- collaborative approach
- commitment to quality
- keen sense of design
In my consultancy practice, established two years ago, I have worked with regional hubs, national, local authority, and independent museums, as well as professional membership bodies. This complements my extensive experience primarily gained through curatorial and management positions, and related partnership working, at the Whitworth Art Gallery, the University of Manchester.
