About me

Digital marketer, festival organiser, lapsed drummer, wannabe photographer! I’m currently working at Hampshire Cultural Trust as a digital transformation manager, helping to promote and celebrate arts and heritage in Hampshire. Over the past five years I have organised Graze Festival — Hampshire's finest music and food festival. We are currently planning ahead for 2021. In my spare time I manage a digital transformation blog and maintain Refetch.co.uk — a digital resource to help people discover plastic free, zero waste and ethical product swaps. Born & bred in Winchester, I have many fingers in many pies. You can email me or find me on Twitter.
