Twelve years of learning how ideas become real exhibition experiences.

At High Resolution, I developed exhibition stands and branded environments from the initial concept through presentation, revisions and client approval.

This role strengthened both my creative and technical abilities. I developed my 3D modelling, materials, lighting, rendering and visual presentation skills so I could communicate ideas with greater clarity and realism.

Working across several projects at the same time also improved my ability to organise priorities, respond to feedback and maintain the design direction within demanding timelines.

IGE was where I learned how the exhibition industry works as a complete business.

I had the opportunity to work across the full project journey, from receiving the brief and developing the concept to client presentations, revisions, production coordination and final delivery.

I worked closely with sales, marketing, clients, estimators, contractors and production teams. This helped me understand how design decisions affect budgets, timelines, approvals, production and the wider commercial success of a project.

This period gave me a strong foundation in exhibition design and helped me understand how different teams contribute to bringing an idea to life.

My first professional role gave me a foundation in architectural planning, technical drawings and spatial development.

It taught me to think about proportion, circulation, structure and how people use space. These principles continue to influence the way I approach exhibition and experiential design today.
