Greater Melbourne Area
I’ve worked in the creative industries in the UK and Australia for over 20 years. I’ve led the commissioning of over 100 site specific art commissions, managed large art collections, devised participatory programs, curated multiple exhibition spaces, programmed regular events and performances etc and developed the required creative strategies to support these. I have extensive experience of working within complex environments with diverse teams, having led creative projects for Transport for London, the National Health Service, Melbourne Metro Tunnel, Level Crossing Removal Project, Frankston Hospital Redevelopment & the new healthcare facilities program for Jersey, Channel Islands. I’m a firm believer in the power of collaboration and have brokered partnerships with some amazing organisations including Amnesty International, The British Museum, Arts Centre Melbourne, Ausdance, Central Saint Martins, London Transport Museum, The British Library and The Royal Ballet amongst others. I’m hugely honoured & grateful for various awards & accolades I’ve received along the way, including the International Academy for Design & Health, the Building Better Healthcare Awards, the Institute of Medical Illustrators Awards and the Royal Society for Public Health. I love creating new projects and programs from scratch, which includes - the Creative Communities program for London Underground , GO Create! at Great Ormond Street Hospital and the ARCH creative program for Royal Children’s Hospital. I aim to make the inclusion of creativity, in whatever form, as easy as possible for everyone involved, by applying my many years of experience combined with a highly collaborative approach.
