What I'm looking for

I seek roles blending research-driven curation, publication-ready cataloguing, and creative direction within collaborative cultural institutions that value public engagement and professional growth.

I am a multidisciplinary art professional with experience in cataloguing, research, art direction, and cultural programming across galleries, festivals, and independent projects. I have led cataloguing and archival work for major collections, developed research-backed interpretive content, and prepared publication-ready visual and textual assets.

I have founded and led creative initiatives, directed immersive experience design, managed teams and operations, and driven digital strategy and social media for artistic clients. I combine rigorous research, visual practice, and project management to deliver culturally resonant exhibitions, publications, and public programs.
