Drawing on a background in museum and gallery programming and off-site visual arts commissioning, I have been developing creative projects which centre research and knowledge exchange since 2018. Driven by a preoccupation with the many different ways of knowing - and with knowledge transmission across diverse audiences - in my work I seek to create equitable, horizontal structures for exchange.

Although I’m always intrigued by the hard to categorise, types of work I like to do are:

• Leading on the introduction of artists into projects; commissioning, developing and producing artist’s projects. Curating multi-site programmes, site responsive curating/producing.

• Exhibition curation, including writing interpretation, visitor journey, designer liaison, collections work, production management.

• Project design and management; structuring, managing and delivering collaborative/participatory creative research projects.

• Public programme convening, live events production.

• Audience research & evaluation.

I have worked and collaborated with: Artangel, Attenborough Arts Center, The British Museum, Horniman Museum and Gallery, King’s College London, Live Art Development Agency, Loughborough University (Radar programme), MK Gallery, Modern Art Oxford, University College London, Visual Arts Network South Africa.

I hold a Master of Research degree (MRes) in Art History from Goldsmiths and an MA Art Museum and Gallery Studies from the University of Leicester.
