Cejas Acosta

Designer
I enjoy utilising my architectural training and exhibition design experience in China, Spain and the UK to bring together the creative and technical, creating compelling first class designs that inspire and engage.

Laure

Cheung

Head of Casson Mann Paris
Making everything work smoothly is my agenda. I seamlessly manage a multiplicity of tasks each day, in two languages! I have the thoroughness, precision and knowledge to supervise large-scale and long term projects.

Izzie

Cullen

Interpretation and Communications Assistant
I enjoy satisfying my curiosity by learning about new subjects and thinking imaginatively about stories which visitors can connect with.

Virna

Di Schiavi

Designer
I enjoy working closely with clients on the delivery of complex gallery projects, becoming immersed in the content and dreaming up inventive design solutions.

Daniel

Eckhoff

Designer
As a German and British designer who grew up in Japan, I really enjoy creating exciting spaces that allow for communities from all backgrounds to interact in innovative and collaborative ways.

Eleonora

Francica

Designer
I am fascinated by the untold stories behind each and every object, and I love to find exciting, unique ways to give them a new life.

Léa

Gauvain

Designer
Curiosity, and a natural inclination to learn, help me articulate the nuances of a client’s story, and create playful and memorable scenographic environments.

Cécile

Henry

Designer
I studied architecture in my native France and I think it shows in my strong sense of style, understanding of concept and sensitivity to space.

Kirsty

Kelso

Head of Interpretation
Thinking, researching, imagining and writing: I come up with the words and the stories that will engage and inspire visitors.

Beatrice

Lelli

Designer
Having studied Industrial Design in Rome, I found my way more recently to exhibition design in London. It seems to me like the more poetic side of design.

Vivienne

Li

Finance Manager
The quiet voice of reason in a creative company. I am responsible for managing the company finances, negotiating contracts and human resources.

Geraldine

Lopez

Designer
I am passionate about designing spaces that inspire and trigger a specific feeling or mood. I enjoy exploring textures and materials and finding that unexpected combinations can result in a space that is exciting and memorable.

Roger

Mann

Founder and Creative Director
I am passionate about creating dramatically lit, beautiful spaces that are meticulously detailed; orchestrating all aspects of design – media, materiality, light, colour, sound, movement – into a holistic vision.

Nora

Ni Dhomhnaill​

Project Manager
Having previously worked as a project manager for museums, I really enjoy bringing that perspective to exhibition design. The goal is to keep all the plates spinning (and all the ducks in a row), allowing the designers the time to do what they do best.

John

Pickford

Director
I enjoy the client sessions, finding out about the stories they want to tell and devising ways to bring those stories to life for visitors - then ensuring they remain central to all that we design.

Delphine

Rabat

Project Manager
Bilingual French/English, after 10 years’ international experience, and my time as Project Manager, I’m pretty good at translating complex design concepts - not to mention international diplomacy.

Craig

Riley

Director
I am the Post-It-Note king, few projects escape being organised and managed into a beautiful system of words, sketches and coloured squares.

Gary

Shelley

Director
I’m interested in overturning traditional expectations of museum environments, combining the highest object display standards with rich multimedia in powerful and creative ways.

Ellie

Stocks

Designer
I’m often drawing and modelling things, trying to make playful ideas into reality. What I like about exhibition design is that the weird and wonderful stories around objects and people act as an ideal starting point for these ideas.

Phoebe

Thompson

Office Administrator
I help manage the office and keep things running as smoothly as possible. I enjoy all the odd bits of knowledge you pick up along the way in this sort of role and I hope to make everybody’s day a little easier because of it!

Corinne

Tolson-Sevier

Designer
Ever the enthusiast, I bring freshness, skill and new ideas to Casson Mann projects and pitches, as well as providing ‘light’ office entertainment ...

Jon

Williams

Director
I’m a stickler for detail in both design and process. I develop and oversee the design management processes that underpin all our creative thinking.

Harriet

Woollard

Studio Manager
Hello and welcome! I am the first point of contact for visitors to Casson Mann, and generally manage the day-to-day running of the company.
