Hello world.

I’m John O’Shea.

I’m a creative director based in the North of England, leading on curation, strategy, research and work with emerging technologies for collections, exhibitions and cultural institutions.

I work as Creative Director & Co-CEO of the National Videogame Museum, Sheffield, UK – an independent museum and charity currently working towards museum Accreditation.

A recent project I’ve produced is a new exhibition Videogames Transforming Lives for EXPO 2025 in Osaka, Japan.

I’m contactable online via Bluesky, Linked In and Instagram.
