Profile:

I am a practising artist with a live folio of commissions and projects. In particular I have worked with other arts organisations and clients to devise new programmes, enhance organisational development and on capital projects. I offer an in depth knowledge of the application of new technologies and commissioning, alongside practical experience of implementation. I have facilitated creative technology labs working with over 200 artists nationally and internationally through my work with PVA MediaLab, Metal and others. I have recent experience of working on architectural design teams and studio design. I am an experienced facilitator and work directly with active project development, as opposed to report writing (although I do this as well).
