About me
I have currently finished a BA (Hons) at Arts University Bournemouth studying Fine Art, where I specialised in set and exhibition design. During my studies I was interested in becoming a curator. I quickly learnt I was more interested in working to a brief, producing work for someone rather than making my own. Thus after University I jumped straight into working with some London based artists I met during my studies. Helping to problem solve or curate a show such as my experience at 180 Strand working with amazing photographers from around the world. From this I became interested in starting a brand so began working for Tate Modern to gain skills from a large institution in the art market. I have been able to get involved with events receiving knowledge that has helped me progress within my own work. Whilst the Tate has been fantastic in teaching me how to run a show I have missed working more with my hands to produce something creative again. So I am now looking to continue on in the practical side which is what I really thrived at during my studies.

    Events AssistantJupiter Woods
    London, United KingdomFreelance
    Jupiter Woods is a gallery based south-east London where I help out with the production of their events/shows. It is a small team but I love working with them when I can as I can learn new skills whilst there. My previous roles included front of house work, setting up e.g. production, installing light and sound, media and finally logistics. I enjoy doing this as it keeps me involved in local art and means I can help out fellow new curators.
