Our directors
Alistair’s creative vision and audience insight have inspired some of the modern cultural landscape’s most ground-breaking exhibitions, winning industry and public accolades on the V&A’s blockbuster exhibitions, David Bowie is... and Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, as well as acclaimed permanent museum spaces. His inventive and perceptive approach to design is underpinned by the rigour of an engineering background.
Yvonne is the driving conceptual force behind many visionary cultural projects, including recent work for Shakespeare’s Birthplace and Lapworth Museum of Geology, as well as innovative commercial spaces at Canary Wharf. With a background in interior design, her inherent visual sense and expertise with narrative clarity have been instrumental in creating experiences that resonate with audiences everywhere.
Mike’s architectural background informs his expert creative leadership for projects where a structural element and clear design principles are key. His contemporary visual aesthetic and experience of cross-team working have brought an added dimension to critically applauded exhibition and museum projects including David Bowie is... at the V&A, Cosmonauts at NMSI and Revolution at the Royal Academy.
