V&A museum
Creative Direction, Interface Design and User Experiencer
The V&A is one of the UK’s most prestigious art establishments and as a designer, it was a privilege to work with them over the course of several years. While the internal team has moved the site forward wit the times this design piece was the first major step in creating the V&A website as a major destination for scholars and artists globally. I spent many weeks working closely with the V&A talking to curators and trying to understand what they needed both as a repository of millions of artefacts but also as a visitor destination. This meat a balance between searching millions of items and beautifully presenting the many stories the V&A has to tell through its collections.
