Creative Project Manager | Cultural Projects

I am a creative project manager working across cultural production, visual communication, creative production support, and art education settings. My background in visual art and creative media gives me a practical understanding of how creative work is developed, produced, and presented. I support artists, students, teams, and partners with both creative sensitivity and practical structure, coordinating exhibitions, events, publications, workshops, participatory projects, art academy technical support, and international cultural experiences from concept to delivery. Across these formats, I work with people, content, logistics, timelines, tools, and materials, helping creative ideas become structured, visible, and ready for an audience.
