Project: Membership

Harewood House Trust are looking to expand their current membership package, redesigning the offer to include a gift that is given to all members when joining. The membership scheme as a whole should be reviewed, exploring ideas of themed or tiered packages, with a corresponding gift which reflects the level of membership. Inspiration must be taken from the designs and patterns in the House itself, and the gift must be financially viable to include with every membership.
