Inspired by art and the creative industry that surrounds me I have for gained a drive for organising events and curation. Working on my own art practice has given me the opportunity to communicate and work with individual artists as well as larger companies such as Anglia Square Shopping Centre. Every project I strive to make a bigger and better impression than the last. I’d class myself as a project leader, curator and artist.
