ABOUT ME
I'm a Creative Producer, Coach, Mentor and Access Support Consultant. I'm passionate about providing space and support for artists, at all stages of their practice, to explore ideas, test them out, create, and connect with communities.
​
After graduating from BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University, I have worked with organisations including Tate St Ives, The Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Centre, The Audience Agency, Rural Touring Schemes, and up until 2024 was the Head of Creative at Creative Youth Network, alongside gaining an MA in Arts Management at Falmouth University. In each role, my work has been grounded in engagement and participation in the arts. As a Creative Producer, I specialise in project management, working with artists and creative organisations to develop and deliver creative projects and programmes. Facilitating inclusive spaces for artists and creative practitioners to have their needs met and be able to expand their practice.
​
In 2011, I trained as a Mentor, followed by training as a Coach in 2014. These skills give me the ability to hold space for those at transitional points within their practice, whilst providing a foundational approach to enabling those I work with to focus on a values based way of working towards achieving that which they're aiming to do.
​
I set up Her Mark in 2021 as a programme for women (Trans inclusive) and non-binary people working within the arts. Producing projects in South Wales with artists, as well as delivering coaching programmes for small groups and individuals, alongside programmes of events that bring the community together.
​
The golden thread that runs throughout my practice is 'access'. Whether it be access for communities to engage in the arts, to access for artists to make and create, reducing barriers in doing so. In 2024, I started working at the University of South Wales as a lecturer on the BA (Hons) Creative and Therapeutic Arts degree, whilst also working with Arts Council Wales as a freelance Access Supporter for those applying for funding whom face barriers in doing so. In 2025, I became a Mentor on the Creative Steps programme with Arts Council Wales.
​​
If you have an idea of a project that you would like support in developing, if would like a conversation with me about your practice and taking it forward, or if you'd like someone to hold the space for you whilst you create new work / way of working, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
​
I look forward to hearing from you.
