I’m keeping this website up for now, partly as a reminder to myself of what I did over a long career! I also want my writing on interpretation to be available to anyone who wants it.

I’ve always been interested in inspiring, unusual ways to conjure the spirit of a place. I like telling interesting tales in a few words, and giving visitors space to make their own experiences. I hope that sometimes my work helps people fall in love with the places they visit.

Interpretation and visitor experience

Heritage interpretation – the art of encouraging people to connect with and learn about heritage sites – has been central to my work. I believe that the best interpretation comes from thinking about the whole experience that visitors have. That means I often work with designers, landscape architects, artists, and architects to deliver memorable and effective projects.

Over thirty years’ experience in this field I was lucky to work on some great projects, and to help shape many aspects of good practice. Get in touch if you’d like to know more.
