I was Writer and Director of the multimedia storytelling for ASD: Decoded, a major exhibition exploring the history and work of the Australian Signals Directorate.

A highlight of the project was the creative development and writing of a five-player game that used high-energy collaborative play mechanics so participants could work together to solve real-life security incidents.

With cutscenes and large-scale projections, it put visitors directly into the shoes of operatives making life-and-death decisions and was hugely popular.

I also directed and edited a series of large-format video installations displayed on seven-foot screens, combining motion graphics and cinematic storytelling to communicate the organisation’s history and technological evolution.


This was developed in collaboration with exhibition designers, technologists and curators to transform highly technical subject matter into accessible public storytelling.
