Featured project:The Works Heritage Trail
I created the 2-mile heritage trail of 30+ interpretation panels at key locations around Swindon's Railway Village and former GWR Works for Historic England / Swindon Borough Council.

Street banners; stylised route map; way-finding cast bronze pavement plaques; printed map and guide; and curating online guide content.
