She has experience at every level of the interpretive design process - from concept to completion. In addition, she specialises in the production of models such as architectural and exhibition models, miniature set designs and two-dimensional full size birds.

Originally training as a theatre set designer in the late 1970s, she extended her qualifications in 1997 with a Master of Design degree in Interior Architecture and Exhibition Design from the Edinburgh College of Art. In June 2006 Sandy completed her biggest design project – the Scottish Storytelling Centre, on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.

What is Interpretive Design?

“Interpretation is a way of imparting messages to visitors in a memorable way. Some describe it as information with an explanation. Interpretation aims to improve visitors understanding and enjoyment through provoking interest, relating to experience and revealing something new”.
