About me
A highly organised, creative and target-driven London-based events professional, with a proven interest in fine art, fine dining and (fine) cars; the emphasis is always on the detail. I relish working as part of a team within, and in collaboration with, brands on a national and international scale and have extensive experience from planning to delivery.
