Hello
I’m Kyla — an experienced Museum and Heritage Curator, specialising in developing engaging, inclusive interpretation that connects diverse audiences with collections and historic places.
My combined curatorial expertise and graphic design experience allow me to develop exhibitions and interpretation from concept through to delivery. This includes research, writing, design, and implementation, ensuring a cohesive and high-quality final outcome.
​
I curate art, design and social history collections, undertaking academic research alongside collections care and management. My design work spans a wide range of museum and heritage projects, from individual elements such as object labels and interpretation panels through to large-scale displays and exhibitions.
​
Available for freelance and consultancy projects across the UK, I have previously worked for the National Trust, the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust, and the National Trust for Scotland.
