About me
I have five years’ experience in the arts and cultural sector, including over four years at Thames Festival Trust, with my roles including artist & venue liaison, programme coordination, project management, marketing, social media and content creation, and administration. I have recently completed an Interior Design course and am looking to apply the skills in a new environment. I am currently redesigning a client’s house and designing the interior of a newly-commissioned houseboat.
