About me
I’m a natural connector who gravitates towards inspiring people, places and projects.
I have a crush on copyright, cultural and creative stuff with over 15 years working internationally within the cultural heritage sector and creative industries.
I manage relationships with artists, designers and companies to digitise, exhibit and license their work.
I thrive in being able to demystify a complex legal subject like intellectual property and support those I work with to manage, understand and benefit from their creative rights.
My work includes leading on key stages of exhibition and publishing programming, cataloguing and digitisation projects, developing and facilitating workshops and training days, leading on policy review, strategy and best practice of managing intellectual property in a creative environment.
I work best with mutual exchange so would love to hear from you.
