WORKING WITH ME
I feel passionately about facilitating others to achieve their fullest potential, and harnessing the arts as a tool for transformative change through telling untold stories, and building meaningful connections with collaborators and audiences.
My process as a Producer involves developing a baseline of shared values and goals for each project. In turn, these values shape the development process and aid in guiding future decision making.
Through my role I invest not only in the project, but also in the practitioners, the audience and the wider community. I encourage long-term thinking around the future development of work and the personal development of artists and practitioners. I am committed to meaningful audience engagement; enabling new and relevant audiences to access work.
I feel passionately about supporting and nurturing the arts scene across Scotland and have spent a number of years on the board of cultural charities, including as a founding Trustee for Shazam Theatre Company.
I draw from a decade of experience in the arts, bringing strength, consistency and drive to the projects I work on. I provide project management and administration for a wide variety of artistic work and can offer support with:
Creative strategy
Audience development
Fundraising
Tour and production planning
Budgeting & scheduling
H&S and compliance
