About
I am a multi-disciplinary Producer, Creative Director, Artist, Educator and Performer based in the North West of the UK.
I create and produce stunning concepts and programmes for the Cultural and Commercial sectors, both on home soil, throughout the UK and across the globe.
I’ve been lucky to have worked on a whole host of innovative and visually spectacular projects including the creation of the inaugural LightPool Festival which won the Best Tourist Event award at the 2017 Lancashire Tourism Awards and featured work and performances from over 60 international artists and directors.
I’ve spent the last 8 years working cross art form and cross sector, ensuring my experience is as expansive and relevant as possible. I’m a passionate and personable creative leader. I am extremely autonomous, but also excel and thrive as part of or leading a team. I create and produce at all scales from intimate cabarets to large-scale spectacle and festivals. I’m well connected with a brilliant network of cultural and creative experts who I collaborate with regularly to ensure every job gets done.
I blend skill. I fuse style. I think big.
I make things happen.
