Vicky Richardson

Vicky Richardson is a very lovely lady. She is Head of Architecture, Design and Fashion at The British Council and works with incredibly talented people from all over the world everyday. If you were putting a team of people together to help change the world for the better, you could do a lot worse than include her.
But that goes for most of our mates.

Unity were lucky enough to work with Vicky in the development of the British Council’s This Way Up project, which told the story of 15 years of British Council commissions, exhibitions and special projects.
