Working as the lead 2D designer with the museum project team to create a contemporary identity for Life Online and the overall graphic treatment throughout the gallery spaces and across campaign materials.

Content was brought to life through a graphic interpretation that wrapped around the space revealing engaging digital interactives, displays and large scale graphics to communicate the complex story in an engaging and accessible way.

“Rachael was pivotal in the successful delivery of Life Online. Rachael is unusually gifted as an exhibition-graphic designer: she finds the visual connections in challenging narratives to produce engaging design work which captures the audience with an intuitive voice. Often presented with dry and challenging material, Rachael brought it to life with flair and humour. Sensitive to the needs of the audience and content team, Rachael quickly became an integral part of the creative energy of the project and was instrumental in achieving the galleries’ palpable resonance with the visitor.”
