Projects
Science Museum Group
How can technology enhance galleries and exhibitions?
Green Raven worked across Science Museum's four sites on a strategic review of how and why the museums use tech to engage visitors. Team consultations, site visits, and research combined to find strategic avenues for digital and immersive tech that complement SMGs people and mission.
Royal Shakespeare Company DAP
How can tech enhance the stage design process for creative teams?
Green Raven was retained by Arts Council England to advise Royal Shakespeare Company on the Bloomberg Digital Accelerator. Strategic advice and guidance was provided to develop innovative design processes for theatre productions using digital twins and virtual reality tech.
Beachcomber - BFI Narrative VR
Can virtual reality unlock memories and change your headspace?
Green Raven was retained by award-winning animation producer Second Home Studios to develop, write, scope, and deliver a narrative virtual reality experience for the BFI. The project combined fantasy environments, musical relics, and the power of our memories to change our minds.
The Space - Scoping & Assessments
How can creative businesses and artists scope digital projects?
Green Raven supports The Space across its funding and skills programmes with project scoping, creative business mentoring, and R&D funding application assessments. Our role has been to bring project experience to new talent and help them build the most impactful projects they can deliver.
Horniman Museum DAP
How can augmented reality encourage exploration in a museum?
Green Raven was retained by Arts Council England to advise Horniman Museum & Gardens on the Bloomberg Digital Accelerator. We helped shape the strategic direction of an augmented reality trail suited to the museum's community and collections, as well as helping appoint the right tech partners.
Magpie - Visitor Experience R&D
How cultural organisations design for visitor attention?
Green Raven is developing Magpie, an original approach to visitor engagement in culture. The R&D project combines contactless tech, AI analysis, and data visualisation approaches to map visitor interests, taste, and attention in an original, engaging, and frictionless way.
Marcus Rashford - Wall of Hope
How can an archive tell the story of community action?
Green Raven was engaged by The Space to support Manchester Libraries to develop and scope a digital resource to help tackle discrimination. The project, based on the defaced mural of footballer Marcus Rashford, became an interactive resource built and designed by MBD.
Birmingham Royal Ballet DAP

How can XR and immersive deliver enterprise impact?
Green Raven was retained by award-winning XR services studio Juice Immersive to develop enterprise solutions, innovation, strategies and product consultancy combining XR tech. Projects included work for Gousto, Northern Powergrid, Greater Anglia, Hard Rock Cafe, and NSPCC.
Blast Theory DAP
How can digital channels attract and engage new audiences?

Green Raven Policies
Referral & Introductions Policy
Green Raven provides judgement, not access, as a service. Introductions to the organisations and people I work with aren't a service I offer on their own, and I don't broker access to my contacts or network. Green Raven will make or facilitate an introduction only when:
-
It falls within a defined role I hold with an organisation or programme I'm supporting;
-
A cultural organisation asks me to recommend suitable partners for a project, and I can point them to people I'd genuinely vouch for; or
-
I'm actively engaged, in an advisory, development, retainer, or consultancy capacity, by the studio or platform seeking the introduction, and making introductions falls within the agreed scope of that work.
In every case, an introduction reflects my honest judgement about fit. I won't pass on a contact without the other party's agreement, and a good working relationship with me is never, on its own, a route to my network.
Artificial intelligence (AI) Policy
Green Raven works at the intersection of culture, creativity, and emerging technology. Increasingly, that means I'm asked to investigate, develop, or advise on projects that use artificial intelligence (AI) in its many forms.
These are still emerging tools, with no settled standards for how they should be used in the cultural and creative sectors. Part of my role is to help studios and organisations navigate that uncertainty which means taking a clear, deliberate view on the work I will and won't support. That position evolves as the technology and its consequences become clearer.
What Green Raven will consider supporting:
Projects that use AI, large language models (LLMs), and related technologies to widen access, strengthen how an organisation works, deepen understanding, or otherwise serve its mission and values, treating these tools as a way to extend human creativity and capacity, not to replace it.
What Green Raven will not support:
Projects where generative AI or related technologies:
-
Substitute for human creative work that would otherwise be commissioned from, and paid to, practitioners;
-
Pass off machine-generated output as human-made, or use it without transparency, consent, or credit; or
-
Degrade, deprioritise, or extract value from the cultural and creative industries and the people who work in them.
Where a project sits in genuinely contested territory, I make that call case by case, guided throughout by whether the work supports or undermines the people who make culture.
Where a brief calls for AI or related-technologies, Green Raven provides a Reframe scoping service that find alternative method to implementation, design projects that find the most essential uses of the technology, and offer new or hybrid routes where possible.
