MAJOR WELSH CASTLES
I work with Fielder Green Associates as part of their creation of dual language, heritage interpretation for Cadw’s visitor sites across the whole of Wales, including Caernarfon Castle – UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Implementing a country-wide brand system to engage visitors at some of the most spectacular sites across the country, I have created hundreds of interpretation panels, telling stories of Welsh history that help maintain visitor numbers and boost understanding of Welsh heritage.
COASTAL DIGITAL STORY TELLING
Storm 1859 is an immersive digital heritage project designed to bring Wales’ rich maritime and coastal history directly to visitors’ mobile phones and helped to celebrate Wales’s 2018 Year of the Sea. Created, together with Fielder Green Associates, we developed a location-aware app that unlocks an exciting collection of stories and historical facts, presented as spoof steam-punk style broadcasts from a collection of on-the-spot animated reporters delivering location relevant stories of chaos and mayhem on that terrible night.
Bridging the gap between physical exploration and digital storytelling, the app uses ibeacon technology to deliver site-specific content exactly where it happened: tales of shipwrecks, brave rescues and huge structural losses.l
For Cadw, this was a tool designed to firstly engage new visitors and push them from town to town along the coastline of Wales, increasing footfall at lesser visited locations. Lord Elis-Thomas, minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport, said: “This innovative digital experience is yet another example of how Cadw is successfully using cutting-edge technology to make Welsh heritage easier to access, digest and enjoy.”
