Bird & Gorton

With Hannah Bird, I am also co-director of design consultancy Bird & Gorton.  

We specialise in empowering cultural leaders, universities, creative organisations and cities to develop collaborative ways of working and innovative new programmes.

We design and deliver leadership development programmes, user-centred strategies, and impact research. We bring together experienced teams from across digital, heritage, research, and arts producing to imagine new and better solutions with our clients.

We are both Clore Fellows and qualified leadership coaches, with more than 15 years of experience working across the cultural sector in the UK. Drawing on work with NASA and IDEO, we use Design Thinking approaches to provide strategic consultancy, training, facilitation, coaching, and mentoring. 

Clients include the National Theatre, The Space, Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership, Royal Opera House, National Alliance for Arts in Criminal Justice, Clore Leadership Programme, and King's College London.
