About me
I create, I build, I work long hours because I love being part of the illusion. Events have the ability to transport us all from busy lives where we are distracted from the magic and enchantment our younger selves saw in the everyday. Each festival, party and gathering has the potential to create indelible moments that are recalled joyfully. Vibrant and multi-coloured they can spark excitement with the vaguest reference. These shared moments bring people together and I relish the challenge of building the complex systems and infrastructure that allows them to appear as if effortlessly. Whether leading or being part of a team, I love each day that I work, because there is nothing more fulfilling than being part of making a show go live!

    Project Production ManagerFreelance
    I am a freelance project manager/producer from Brighton, specialising in live events. With over a decade of experience I create, plan and build magical moments and happenings and work with small companies through to global brands. Engaging, astute and with extensive onsite experience I like to roll up my sleeves and thrive in those pressure cooker situations that some run a mile from! Happiest and at home in professional settings that include: product launches, exhibitions, road shows, global conferences, large-scale outdoor events and music festivals - I work to a simple philosophy: Give me six hours to cut down a tree and I will spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.
