I began working with the Design Museum in 2007 when I photographed a series of 'reinvented' footballs for an article in DAM magazine. Over the next decade I would document the museum's major exhibitions and key pieces from their archive collection. However The Design Museum is not just celebrating the past; it also looks to the future, showcasing new talent with the annual Designers in Residence show, and regular family days which aim to inspire the future generations of designers.

The move to Kensington signifies the beginning of an exciting new era for the Design Museum; a larger building to build up the permanent collection and expansion of temporary exhibitions.
