Projects

Diane has been developing content for well over twenty years both through employment and freelance work. In the last fifteen+ years she has played a key role on several multi-million dollar capital interpretive projects. Her work takes her on a journey through a range of projects where “words matter,” from indoor exhibits to outdoor interpretive signage, and to the development or review of materials in the non-profit world.

Red Rock Creative

Diane launched Red Rock Creative to expand on what she does best – interpretive writing and planning. Working independently, or alongside exhibit design firms such as Panther Creative and Doug Munday Design, Diane works on projects across the country.

Content development support clients past and present include Heritage BC, Geoscience BC and the Howe Sound Biosphere Region Initiative Society.

Britannia Mine Museum

Her department was responsible for permanent and temporary exhibits, interpretive tour and program planning/implementation and curatorial activities. Her biggest project was an award winning $14.7 million dollar redevelopment project in 2010. This project included new exhibits and site features, movie and building restoration. Diane was the Museum’s lead in content development, ensuring diligence of care from concept planning to final proofing and sign off.
