About me
Hi! I am a highly experienced project, marketing, and events manager with 7+ years of experience in the music industry. I led on the bookings and marketing of well-reputed Brighton (UK) multi-arts venue Patterns since its inception in 2015. I am well skilled in creative direction, digital marketing, event planning, event management, and A&R. I invest in people and equality; love creating novel concepts, collaborating with creatives on a range of scales, and thoroughly enjoy managing events from concept to delivery.

- Patterns Q1 2020The final full quarter of events that I worked on at Patterns in Brighton.

The three months feature Brighton debuts from the likes of Logic1000, Teki Latex (not featured in the below image), Overmono (Live), re:ni, Dr. Banana and more. As well as returning slots from Jayda G, Mall Gr
- FOCALThe idea behind this four-part events series I worked on for Patterns in Brighton was that the long-standing residents of the club invite an artist they have a particular connection with to join them in the DJ booth.

I had the idea that the artwork would subtly hint at Brighton, the imagery used is of seaside-relevant photos that are blurred as to be candid and not cringeworthy. The lines and arrows feat
- 2019: A Rave Odyssey with Horse Meat Disco & Ross From Friends (DJ Set)This new year's eve event at Patterns in Brighton was inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s novel 2001: A Space Odyssey. I worked with James (Pointless Illustrations) on the artwork and Pink Marmalade (Good Life’s production company) on the set design. We also launched an Everpress campaign for a limited edition long-sleeved t-shirt with the poster design and a bespoke adaptation of the Patterns logo featured. 25% of proceeds went The Clock Tower Sanctuary helping to s
- Shanti Celeste's Peach Party ResidencyI worked closely with Kim at POLY Artists and Shanti Celeste to curate and deliver the very first Peach Party series. The four events at Patterns in Brighton included guests Ciel, Hodge, DJ Stingray, Peach, Josey Rebelle and Saoirse. We collaborated with Graeme Bateman on the artwork and also hosted a CDR Workshop as part of Lighthouse’ Last Dance project.
- AkaAkaRoar!Events in Brighton with guests featuring Kornél Kovács, DJ Q, Baba Stiltz, Samo DJ, Madam X, DJ Seinfeld, Ross From Friends (Live), Ben UFO, Josey Rebelle, Leon Vynehall, Shall Not Fade, Joy Orbison, Jon K and Pearson Sound.
