I am an access-first arts producer, curator and cultural consultant with a passion for amplifying stories about what it means to be human.
My work
I am a curator, creative producer and cultural consultant with over 20 years' experience developing exhibitions, artistic commissions, public programmes and collaborative projects across museums, galleries, universities and research institutions. My practice brings together contemporary art, creative storytelling and transdisciplinary approaches to explore complex social, cultural, scientific and environmental questions. I am particularly interested in the capacity of art and culture to challenge established narratives, foreground marginalised perspectives, engage curiosity and open new ways of understanding ourselves and the world around us. I work with an access-first approach, committed to finding creative ways to embed access from the outset.
I specialise in projects connecting the arts, sciences and humanities, creating opportunities for exchange between artistic practice, academic research, collections, cultural histories and lived experience. My thematic interests encompass social justice, identity and health, alongside natural history, ecology, climate and relationships between people and the natural world.
I combine creative and intellectual development with the practical expertise to realise ambitious projects, from initial research and concept development through commissioning, interpretation, production and public engagement. My approach is collaborative, person-centred and trauma-informed, grounded in commitments to anti-racism, anti-ableism and equitable cultural practices.
I am experienced in coordinating complex partnerships, managing multi-strand projects, producing and curating exhibitions, displays, and events, commissioning artists and specialist contractors, overseeing project budgets, and embedding accessibility and equitable practice. I have a track record of delivering large and small-scale cultural programmes, supporting organisational learning, and sharing knowledge through sector events, publications and professional networks. My transdisciplinary practice means that I bring an open, curious mind & a flair for working with people from a variety of perspectives.
