Profile
I am an artist who works with sound and stories to build worlds.
I produce content, digital products and immersive experiences for museums, galleries, cultural institutions and their collaborative partners.
My expertise ranges from narrative audio guides and podcasts, to immersive and location-aware experiences, spatial-sound design, composition, music direction, content design, editorial strategy, digital strategy and artist commissioning. I am deeply embedded in values-led creative communities with an experimental bent.
My interdisciplinary approach integrates creative technology outcomes together with traditional exhibition design methods and immersive modes of storytelling. I have extensive experience working with culturally sensitive subject matter and see each project as an opportunity to deepen my commitment to decolonial praxis.
“I have worked with many producers over the years and Becky is one of the best and most creative. She has consistently demonstrated her strong experience of producing complex projects that integrate audio, music and technology.
Her ability, from concept to delivery of a project, to collaborate effectively within multi-disciplinary teams and Art Gallery of NSW stakeholders alike has been exemplary.”

Approach
My process begins with research and listening. I interrogate the “why” before determining “how” to ensure that every creative choice aligns with the core values and purpose of the project. I look at what contemporaries have done to learn what ideas to build upon or improve. Identifying the voices that are left out of history is often the best place to start.
I deepen my understanding of the requirements through close consultation with stakeholders and a commitment to listening, observing and experimenting within a collaborative framework.
I ensure my contribution will best serve the community and meet the project needs by employing audience-centred design, iterative testing and decision-making informed by engagement data.
Sound and the senses are often central to how I think about experience design, with creative technology introduced only when it can enrich participation, connection or understanding. I strive to make work that builds compassion within audiences and enables meaning-making in a complex world.
“Becky is a rare combination of producer, creative collaborator and craftsperson. She has a deep passion for sound and music, a producer's instinct for keeping complex creative processes on time and on budget, and a quiet, considered way of working with everyone around her. She is calm, generous and grounded, with the kind of professional integrity that earns trust from clients and colleagues alike.
Beyond her own delivery, Becky was instrumental in shaping how we approached sound and music as a discipline at Art Processors, mentoring others and lifting the standard of what an audio experience could be for the cultural institutions and audiences we serve.”
