With a background in International Media & Communications, I working on a range of storytelling, often event-based projects with artists and organisations across a global stage.
As a student, I worked with smaller scale galleries, gaining an understanding for event programming and creative marketing strategies; I then progressed to working in-house at Christie’s Auction House, undertaking the role of PR and Communications intern in the EMEA press office. Following this, I assisted 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair in VIP Relations and Programming.
In a decision to work freelance, I’ve realigned with my initial passion and interest, working with artists who sit on the fringes of the industry and helping to push them into the centre through the cultivation and implementation of refined communications strategies. With a mission to redefine the world at the intersection of art, tech, culture and luxury, I centre the narratives of Afro-descendent, Global South and Emerging creative talent.

Paired with modules in French, the course covers culture; traditional, digital and transnational forms of media; society; technology and the varied interpretations of communication.
