About me
Senior Creative Project & Production Manager with 10+ years of international experience. Proven success in running physical and digital productions in the creative field industries for internationally renowned art institutions, artists, creatives, and agencies managing projects with budgets up to 1.2M Euro, and delivering creative solutions on tight deadlines. I offer hands-on, culturally-tuned creative operations experience across art and design, photography, film, the digital world, publishing, tech, and consumer goods industries. Working alongside an array of world-class artists such as the Turner Prize winner Douglas Gordon, Ian Cheng, Adina Pintilie, and Jonathan Monk, I collaborated with and maintained relationships with some of the world's most prominent public and private art institutions, including Gagosian, ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, LAS Art Foundation, or Giacometti Foundation, to name a few, as well as private art galleries and collectors, incl. Galerie Eva Presenhuber, neugerriemschneider, Kamel Mennour, or Klosterfelde Editions. On top of my work in fine arts, I supervised and produced commercial collaborations & shoots with global brands like Samsung, Absolut, Don Julio, and L'Officiel, and edited the BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors.
