What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my administrative, financial, creative, and organisational skills to a role supporting operational efficiency, smooth team workflows, and stakeholder relationships.

I've coordinated creative, academic, and operational work for GEM: New Africa, SMAC Gallery, and Nelson Mandela University.

At SMAC Gallery, I designed and coordinated exhibitions and art-fair booths, photographed artworks, created graphic design materials, and led the graphics team through a successful website redesign. I also built relationships with artists, collectors, and art institutions while supporting marketing and educational tours.

Across academic reviewing, studio management, and film production, I've managed budgets, schedules, procurement, documentation, student support, and team logistics to keep complex work moving smoothly.
