Challenge
Zayed National Museum needed to tell the story of the United Arab Emirates in a way that is engaging, accessible, and relevant to contemporary audiences.
Solution
The UAE’s history, culture, and heritage are brought to life through innovative storytelling, immersive technology, and meaningful visitor experiences.
This was a project spanning several years and encompassing more than 200 exhibits. My role was two-fold: early on in the project, to help develop animated content for the original pitch documents which won the contract, and contributing to the development of a motion graphics language; then, later on, to oversee motion graphics support and quality control across a range of installations towards the end of the project.
