The story
A heritage site has to look after authentic artefacts; a family audience expects a gallery it can touch and play in. The team designed the interpretive structure first, so that every hands-on station answers a specific question, and laid the gallery out as parallel stations so a school class can spread out without bottlenecks.
What I did
Supervised the project as Principal-in-Charge for Juiceworks Exhibits, combining creative oversight with accountability for delivery.
