Description

The Creative Core is an interpretation design practice creating visitor experiences for museums, heritage and culture. Our approach puts visitors and communities first, building connection, meaning and pride through co-creation and human-centred design.

We’re a hands-on, multidisciplinary team based in West Yorkshire and working nationwide. Partnering with a designer can feel daunting, but not with us. Our creative process is collaborative and rewarding, shaped around your team and your project, underpinned by shared values and perspectives.

We don’t stop at design. We deliver projects in-house through sustainable manufacture and the skill of our craftspeople, giving certainty that your vision will be achieved without compromise.
