About me

I have successfully delivered numerous projects and events, from producing exhibitions for David Bailey and Oasis, to managing Making Places, a £1million art and culture programme for Waltham Forest Council. My experience includes commissioning public art, festivals, cultural placemaking, bespoke brand collaborations and activations, award ceremonies and event management. Most recently I managed the event element of ‘VOID’ an installation by photographer Dan Tobin Smith commissioned for the London Design Festival, which took place at Collins Music Hall. My career started in public relations and I have worked for some of the UK's leading PR agencies; including five years at JCPR where I led campaigns for PlayStation, O2, and Galaxy.
