Futures Imagined
Futures Imagined is my independent studio, where I work as Director and Chief Curator. Working at the intersection of art, science, and futures thinking, it brings together curatorial depth, commercial acumen, and strategic intelligence, developed across 25 years of international practice, to help businesses and institutions act with confidence as they navigate complex and uncertain futures. The studio offers exhibition development, conference and programme design, strategic advisory, and keynote speaking. It partners with cultural institutions, governments, and industry to develop work that is both conceptually rigorous and publicly engaging.

Together, the museum and attractions welcome millions of visitors each year.

As Executive Director, I shaped ArtScience Museum's identity as a cultural institution where contemporary art, science, technology and culture are in sustained dialogue. I led the museum's artistic and strategic direction, built its curatorial programme, developed international partnerships, and oversaw exhibitions, public programmes, education, operations and audience development. During this period, I led the museum through a major phase of growth, presenting more than 60 exhibitions, increasing annual visitation substantially, and establishing Future World: Where Art Meets Science with teamLab as the museum's permanent exhibition. Under my leadership, ArtScience Museum became recognised for large-scale, immersive and research-led exhibitions that connect artistic imagination with science, technology and the urgent questions of the present.
