About me
Hi there! I'm Meg, a lively and confident professional on the hunt for roles like Collections Assistant, Creative Assistant, or other exciting administrative positions within the arts. With a passion for the creative scene and a diverse background that weaves through the world of business, contemporary arts, and digital marketing, I have unique insight into the creative industries and I'm killer when it comes to art business!
Here's a bit more about my journey...
My career began at a young age as a professional dancer and live artist, studying contemporary arts and performance. After working with some of the world's leading live artists in a variety of performance-based and managerial roles, I shifted focus after sustaining a significant injury. Despite this, my love for the arts persisted and led me to pursue studies in Art Business, achieving a first class honours degree.
In recent years, I've ventured into the digital landscape, serving as a Digital, PR, and Content Marketing Executive. This role allowed me to fuse my creative roots with modern marketing strategies, fostering a deep appreciation for the intersection of art and technology.
My passion extends to the realm of research, particularly in academic and phenomenological pursuits, and my professional ambitions include contributing to research, curation and management of creative and cultural artifacts. With a keen eye for detail, a strategic mindset, and a profound understanding of the creative process, I aspire to evolve into a Creative Director or Curator, shaping the narrative of cultural expressions.
Projects
- The Art Within IntelligenceA research project led by myself to investigate the converging relationship between artificial intelligence and the creative industries. The intention was to create a hub of creativity and conversation, allowing artists and other creative industry professionals to share their opinions on the topic, as well as their experience working and collaborating with AI software in their creative processes.
