More About Us

What Our Clients Say

“It was fantastic working with Emily Smith and her team on what was a really important piece of work us: the Digital Feasibility Study in the Horniman’s major redevelopment project Nature + Love. Emily and her colleagues were really thorough in the conversations they had with the Horniman team and the research they carried, offering brilliant insights in interpreting their findings, and were adaptable to some last minute changes from our side. Emily’s expertise in digital, technology, natural history and the GLAM sector was really invaluable. I’m so pleased with the outcomes Emily and her team delivered, and I would love to work with them again in the future.”
