I believe in enlivening museum spaces and collections through design and interpretative techniques which create both an emotional and intellectual resonance in visitors. Broad areas of my interest include exhibition planning and design, curatorial practices, cultural and difficult heritage.

 

I am currently completing a PhD at Swinburne University of Technology (Melbourne) on the notion of authenticity in museums and how it impacts contemporary curatorial practices and visitor experience. Prior to my PhD I have had training in Exhibition Design in the US (MFA and internships) and Conservation of Books and Graphics in Russia (BA and work experience).
