I see exhibition design as a dialogue between the softness of art and the strictness of architecture, challenging perception, questioning ideas, and shaping spaces that are beautiful and functional.

I studied architecture in my native France and I think it shows in my strong sense of style, understanding of concept and sensitivity to space.

Lucie

Iredale

Designer
With my background in architecture and set design, I explore all the versatile ways narratives are crafted through spatial practice. Stories breathe life into space, embed into memory and shape perspectives. It is a privilege to be a caretaker of these stories, and to work with multi-disciplinary teams of people to do them justice.

Thinking, researching, imagining and writing: I come up with the words and the stories that will engage and inspire visitors.

I appreciate the more poetic aspects of design, delving into the history of a place to infuse meaningful narratives into my work.

Beatrice

Lelli

Designer
Having studied Industrial Design in Rome, I found my way more recently to exhibition design in London. It seems to me like the more poetic side of design.

Vivienne

Li

Finance Manager
The quiet voice of reason in a creative company. I am responsible for managing the company finances, negotiating contracts and human resources.

Roger

Mann

Founder and Creative Director
I am passionate about creating dramatically lit, beautiful spaces that are meticulously detailed; orchestrating all aspects of design – media, materiality, light, colour, sound, movement – into a holistic vision.

Sarah

O'Shea

Design Manager
Finding exhibition design through a love of museums and their stories, I focus on keeping projects moving forwards on track, so that collectively we can turn clients' and designers' big ideas into real life narrative environments.

John

Pickford

Director
I enjoy the client sessions, finding out about the stories they want to tell and devising ways to bring those stories to life for visitors - then ensuring they remain central to all that we design.

Dominga

I’m fascinated by the magical power of design to transform ideas into concrete experiences. I enjoy the endless learning process of working with multi-disciplinary teams on diverse topics.

Bilingual French/English, after 10 years’ international experience, and my time as Project Manager, I’m pretty good at translating complex design concepts - not to mention international diplomacy.

Ever caring and curious, I appreciate all the things I encounter in an exhibition project from the expression of simple human connections to the most cutting-edge technologies.

Gary

Shelley

Director
I’m interested in overturning traditional expectations of museum environments, combining the highest object display standards with rich multimedia in powerful and creative ways.

Kate

Stanley

Designer
I really believe spatial experience is the most profound and emotional style of story telling we can create as people. The mood and weight of place is something we experience constantly, and without thought. Being able to amplify and direct that experience is, to me, what it means to be a spatial designer.

Ellie

Stocks

Designer
I’m often drawing and modelling things, trying to make playful ideas into reality. What I like about exhibition design is the weird and wonderful stories around objects. People act as an ideal starting point for these ideas.

Phoebe

Thompson

Office Administrator
I help manage the office and keep things running smoothly. I enjoy all the odd bits of knowledge you pick up along the way in this sort of role and I hope to make everybody’s day a little easier because of it!
