An immersive, multi-modal digital museum experience exploring cultural identity through Canadian costume artifacts and lived stories.
My Role
Senior Producer / Director of Production
- Built collaborative workflow between curators + digital team
- Managed multidisciplinary team across content, design, and development
- Oversaw research, narrative design, and UX mapping
- Sourced and supervised creative team (two writers, a project manager, a film crew, three front-end developers plus one WebGL developer, two 3D modellers and a retopologist, stock image researcher, photographer, and an audio designer)
- Drove schedule, budget, risk management, and scope
- Key client and stakeholder liaison for feedback and approval
Challenge
Adornment & Identity is a major flagship project produced in partnership with the Society for the Museum of Costume (SMOC) and Digital Museums Canada. The project brought together historians, curators, filmmakers, and technologists to create an interactive exploration of how fashion shapes culture, identity, and self-expression. Drawn from collections of SMOC and the curator, each exhibit has a slightly different focus whether it’s on the details of contruction, the way the garments reflect the technology and culture of their day, or the way in which an artefact reveals the story of those who wore it.
As Senior Producer, I guided the project from early concept through delivery—balancing curatorial rigor with an accessible, emotionally resonant interactive design. Working with a distributed creative team, I oversaw narrative development, content production, UX flows, visual integration, and stakeholder alignment across multiple institutions.
Outcome
A soon-to-be-released cultural learning experience that expands the reach of museum collections through modern digital storytelling.
