About me
I am an arts professional with a broad background and experience in creativity, management and production across Europe and internationally. My contemporary dance theatre degree has defined my production career and my technical knowledge and competence across all departments gives my colleagues, clients and performers complete faith in my ability. I have an eye for detail and see every aspect of any performance, experience or event through the eyes of the audience. I invest in knowing how the audience will feel at every moment, whether that is elation, fear, sadness or happiness. My technical expertise alongside my bold creativity gives me a strong balance of innovation and rationale. I aim to think big by surrounding myself with bigger thinkers and then drill down into the detail at every opportunity. In the delivery of any show, film or ceremony I work like a ninja; combining my hands on attitude with a strong team bond and all the while exercising an effortless swan-like exterior. I apply the detail of large projects to the smallest of productions and the boutique of the smallest to biggest. I care how all five senses are inspired and challenged for every individual, whether that be the taste of a meal or the carefully curated audio journey across each touch point. I possess a natural flair for sustainability and focus my energy on high quality work with respect for resources and reducing waste. Above all I am driven to create truly accessible, inclusive and diverse experiences which give more to this world than they take away. I am pleased to have been successful in my career so far and am looking to collaborate and discover with other likeminded professionals. If you have any projects which require expert executive or technical management and direction, please get in touch.
Projects
  • HSBC UK CMB Charity Fundraiser for Trussell Trust
    HSBC UK CMB Charity Fundraiser for Trussell Trust48 Hours before an annual conference the client asked for a breakout session to deliver a charity activity which would impact the local community. From concept to delivery I facilitated 300 delegates to pack 300 food parcels to support local food banks.
  • UFest
    UFestUFest was a 3 day festival which took place in 3 venues across the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It was supported by Foundation for FutureLondon and the London Mayor. Day 1 featured the London Dance Championships which took place in the Aquatic Centre with the stage above the Olympic Diving Pool and below the diving boards which was a massive technical achievement. Day 2's main event was a concert at the Copper Box Arena with 4000 strong audience and headlines from Lady Lesha and Big Narstie. Day 3 featured more intimate performances in the Podium venue. My role was Technical Production Manager and I saw the project through from beginning to end with responsibility for all aspects of event production in my role.
