Talk to me about rare books, historic architecture, or cultural heritage collections and I go weak at the knees.
My research and qualifications are all over galleries, libraries, archives and museums, so if you’re working in the GLAM sector and need a hand with online collections, sign me up!
Creating my design toolkit for crowdsourcing cultural heritage got me up close and personal with numerous national and international collections, and it would be a privilege to work with yours.
