About M4C

Welcome to Mosaic. This is a micro-blog where we note our observations, thoughts, and reflections on various facets and aspects of experience design. As with all of our work, there is a strong focus on inclusive design and accessibility.

We believe that being deliberate about what we do can not only yield rich and meaningful experiences but inclusion and access, while also being a powerful catalyst for innovation.

Corey Timpson and Sina Bahram have been collaborating since 2012.

Corey Timpson

Personal Maxim: Time is the most important asset I have – it’s finite and I don’t know how much I have. I will, therefore, spend my time deliberately.

Corey Timpson is an active collaborator and thought leader in the experience design, digital media, and museological discourses within the cultural sector. Having collaborated with over 80 museums internationally, Corey’s primary focus is to facilitate dialogic and meaningful experiences among audiences (on-site and online) through mixed-media, digital technology, and inclusive environmental design.

As Vice President, Exhibitions, Research, and Design, at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) Corey was responsible for the direction and oversight of exhibition programs, research and curation, design and production across all media, digital platforms, and collections. As the project director for the design-build of the CMHR, his focus was on collecting and interpreting difficult knowledge and presenting it through a multi-sensory, inclusive, transmedia storytelling approach. Corey also championed the creation of, and directed the museum’s internationally recognized inclusive design and accessibility practices. 

Corey’s design leadership has accounted for over 30 international awards in the fields of environmental, exhibition, and graphic design, digital and interactive media, digital systems, film and linear media, and universal design.
