About me
My varied professional and academic experience, gained in diverse socio-cultural contexts and in a markedly international environment, has equipped me with the ability to effectively communicate and operate across a wide cultural and social spectrum whilst applying the principles of inclusivity, equality and diversity to audience-focused programming. I received an extensive education in contemporary art, art history and communication and contact of spatial design. I know how to conduct research and I'm trained in display and communication design in Germany. I have three years practice as spatial designer leading the restoration team being responsible for the Interior and permanent displays and exhibitions of a comprehensive conversion: turning a partly listed and 17 years devoid school building into a Buddhist center in Lambeth. I designed, planned, and developed this versatile 2200sqm project. I had the opportunity to work as an assistant curator with Nikolaus Schaffhausen, now the Director of Kunsthalle Wien, who is an internationally distinguished curator, author, and editor of numerous publications on contemporary art. I recently completed a Masters Degree in Interior and Spatial Design with merit at Chelsea College, University of the Arts London. I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Interior and Spatial Design at Chelsea College, focusing on presentation and spatial solutions within exhibition spaces. I am consistently motivated to provide the highest quality input, creating interesting and progressive public events. I am knowledgeable of the policies and procedures of institutions and have been able to implement strategies that directly led to improvement in events planning and running. I have developed my organisational and interpersonal skills through working as a curator assistant, interior designer, marketing assistant and administrator in a busy Interpretation department. I’m an organized person with trained coordination skills and am clear thinking. I’m used to deadlines and capable to remain calm. I worked for Radical Media and Ralf Schmerberg, Berlin.

    Curatorial Team Invigilating Tasks "My paper is first and foremost an investigation on how socio-historical events and common consciousness influence plan and program, position the cohesion of events and consciousness, where these aspects drift apart, disintegrate and how these components materialized on the example of The Central Bus Station Tel Aviv. This proposition tries to add - instead to take away and lift the unnecessary, peel away needless layers of levels and elevate the initial design ambition. It wishes to develop an approach to carve out the first intention and the basic concepts of a very complex design and expose through research a number of decisions, which possibly constituted to this near to fatal result.
