I am an independent, organised, and versatile project manager and producer. I collaborate with creative professionals to deliver outputs including events, publications, installations, and learning experiences. I am just as comfortable producing a global online conference as ghost writing a technical book, or providing personal effectiveness coaching.
I thrive on autonomy, enjoy bringing order to chaos, and relish the challenge of new projects and experiences. These have been abundant while running my own business where, in addition to the core products and services, I have been responsible for everything from sales to social media, customer service to content management. I love seeing a plan come together, and being at the heart of making it happen.
Projects

Ghostsigns encompasses my typically voluntary projects in the realm of fading hand-painted signs. I am now considered to be something of an authority on the topic and, with my various initiatives, have:

• Earned the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for my three London walking tours, which I then adapted for online delivery.
