Creative Interpretation, National Trust Nostell Priory

Narrative Study, Museums of Cheshire

Museums of Cheshire is a well-established network of organisations working together to champion over 20 venues across the county. They commissioned me to produce a Narrative Study as part of their Unlocking the Potential project, working towards becoming a more resilient and sustainable network.

As Learning & Events Manager (First World War Centenary) at IMW North and as a freelance practitioner, I developed digital interpretation for the Greater Manchester Centenary Partnership.
