CULTURE MAKER, MOVER + SHAKER

ABOUT ME
Bringing culture into grasp:
Growing up in London, I studied Art History and French before getting my first taste of working in the arts at the Royal Albert Hall, Frieze Art Fair, Chelsea Design Centre and Somerset House. In 2015, I moved to Vancouver and worked as Program Manager at Vancouver Heritage Foundation, moving on to start this Creative Consultancy.
As long as a project matches my values, interests and skills, I will be there with bells on. I aim to bring a sense of collaboration, creativity and humour to every new project I take on.
I am based between Vancouver, Canada and London, England and anywhere in between if opportunity calls!
