A strategic partner for cultural organisations navigating change

With over 15 years across arts, culture and the creative industries, I help leaders build stronger evidence, sharper insight and more effective ways of working.

My work brings together evidence, insight and practical transformation — turning complex information into practical insight and better decision-making.

Bridging research and practice

I combine more than 15 years of experience across the cultural and creative industries with an academic background in art history and cultural research.

I hold a PhD in Art History & Archaeology from SOAS, University of London. My academic research examines contemporary visual culture, politics and identity, particularly in contemporary Central Asia.

This combination of rigorous research and practical organisational experience shapes how I approach consultancy: understanding the wider context while developing solutions organisations can actually use.

I work with cultural organisations, funders, festivals, creative businesses and institutions on defined projects and longer-term transformation programmes.

If you are considering an evaluation, research project, data initiative or organisational improvement programme, I'd be happy to discuss what you need.
