About me
I founded a social enterprise, For the Love of Grub: The Pop-up Supper Club which is an event that combats food waste whilst bringing the local community together. I coordinated the event and managed a team of over 30 people, including fulfilling the role of creative director.

AssistantCHART Art Fair
- Copenhagen, DenmarkInternship
Worked in a creative and dynamic environment, often brainstorming as an entire team, therefore assisting in various fields such as; art, design, architecture, gastronomy, music, and cultural talks. I negotiated language and cultural differences within the team and clients, as well as acting as a final editor for information presented in English. My main role consisted of generating design ideas that incorporated the advertising for a specific sponsor with the philosophy of the art fair. Using my anthropological knowledge I developed the idea for an interactive art installation that addressed issues surrounding public space and human interaction, compelling users to interact with one another, the space and the brand of the sponsor. I took inspiration from the collaborative attitude of the art fair. Other tasks involved contributing to funding applications, e.g. producing written biographies for each cultural speaker and artist. As well managing VIP relations; communicating with VIP guests, coproducing the VIP experience, leading showings for VIPs, alongside the art fair’s public events.

Interior Design AssistantKelling Designs
- United KingdomFull Time
Personal assistant to interior designer where tasks included; sole charge of photo shoots and liaisons with photographers, taking my own initiative to reorganise the stock room by introducing codes for interior goods, in turn relating to specific storage space areas. This improved efficiency and coherence for all employees, particularly part time or new members of the team. I systematised all notes relating to orders into digital form, producing extremely clear excel spreadsheets containing shortcuts, for efficiency and a centralised system that was easy for new users to use from outset. Taking my own initiative I introduced a coding system for all interior goods which related to specific storage areas. I then systematised all notes on orders into one uniform, centralised excel spreadsheet containing shortcuts, that dramatically improved efficiency; especially for part time or new members of the team.
