Eureka! Science
+ Discovery

Eureka! Science + Discovery is a landmark £11.4m visitor attraction aiming to inspire a new generation of young people about Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths (STEM).

In partnership with Workhaus and as Head of Digital for this project I oversaw all of the digital solutions for this project and developed many of the interactives myself.

There were many challenges on how to deliver such unique interactive experiences. Many of which had not been developed before, breaking the boundaries of what typical touch screen based AVs are was key to making this job a success and finding a new audience to engage with.

Manchester United Museum

My relationship with the Manchester United Museum goes back over a decade and even if you don't support the team you have to appreciate the amount of work that went into these jobs.

The 1999 Treble AV covers every game during that season...all the video highlights, all the team / player statistics and even a quiz.

The Munich Anniversary AV portraits a more poignant experience, detailing the disaster itself and the subsequent investigations into the disaster that led to 23 players and staff losing their lives.

Royal & Ancient World Golf Museum

St. Andrews is the home of Golf and it's history dates back to 1552.

In partnership with Mather & Co. my team developed multiple interactive AVs for the R&A Museum. The pinnacle of which was the Totem interactive - 7 totems, each consisting of 3 HD portrait screens displaying key information about famous golfers who played on the historic course.

Additional to the totems every 20 minutes we launched a seamless takeover moment where all 7 totems and a BrightSign controlled back-wall projection would all work in synchronicity to display a series of videos narrated by non other than Gerard Butler.

Lawler & Co.
Estate Agents

Lawler & Co. Is an award winning Independent Estate Agent. They pride themselves on their customer service and their reviews speak for themselves.

A Wordpress based Content Management System integrates a DezrezOne/Rezi feed so all the hard work is taken out of managing the properties.

W5 Belfast

W5, meaning Who, What, When Where and Why is an award-winning science and discovery centre, located in the Odyssey complex at the gateway to Belfast's Titanic Quarter.

In 2020 they had a major refurbishment and alongside Avaif we created some truly innovative exhibits that utilised the use of physical controls. Dials, switches and even a plunger to launch a custom made firework all helped to enhance the user experience.

Milton Keynes Museum
Roman Coins Exhibit

Milton Keynes Museum recently added a new Ancient Gallery exhibition featuring Jurassic, Bronze Age, and Roman eras.

In partnership with Avaif we developed the Roman Coins interactive, a giant rotating wheel containing 71 original coins dating from 50 BC, detailing the period and which Roman rulers the coins related to. It also allowed you to virtually flip the coin so you could see the other side.
