I have been at the forefront of planning and managing live events for the last ten years during which I have been intrinsically involved in devising and implementing operational strategies and overseeing the delivery of world renowned events and broadcasts to an exceptional standard, some highlighted events include, ATP World Tour Final, Queens Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, Royal Windsor Horse Show, Her Majesty the Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebration, Tour de France, Somme & Ypres 100 Commemorative events, Sound of Music Live, Rugby World Cup Ceremonies 2015, European Games (Baku). Through these and many other events, I have learnt the importance of being flexible and sensitive to the needs of producers, collaborative partners and event staff whilst maintaining a stance enabling realistic targets within a project to be set and realised.
Projects credited in
- National Theatre @ 50October 2013 saw the National Theatre celebrate 50 years at the forefront of British theatre. Celebrations consisted of exhibitions, special performances, a pop-up retail space selling specially commissioned limited edition prints, an ipad app, and culminated in a live BBC 2 broadcast. I was personally responsible for branding and creative behind the motion graphics, whilst also creatively directing my in-house design team to deliver print and digital assets across the campaign.
