I often describe myself as an ‘accidental consultant’. There was no predefined roadmap when I embarked on my journey, but I realized early on that creating the right environment for creative ideas to flourish was my calling.
Coming from Indian/African heritage, pursuing a career in the arts wasn’t initially encouraged. However, my upbringing, rich with exposure to diverse cultures and art forms, shaped my global perspective on the arts and me wanting to be a part of the community.
I have led on so many incredible projects and developments both domestically and internationally, many of them being within male dominated spaces, or spaces i have had no previous experience in but learned and honed my craft. Its been quite the journey! You can see much of my work on my portfolio page.
Likewise, i have work across sectors such as:
- Heritage
- Creative Industries
- Festivals
- Business Development
- Creative Hub Development
- Conferences
- Educational Development
- Exhibitions
- Arts
- International – including Creative Programmes, Exchanges
- Research & Development – including Evaluation
- JEDI – Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion
- Universities / Academia
Having researched, developed and delivered impactful and sustainable creative projects in my lifetime, i can attest by being rooted in transparency and honesty i have been able to cut through the clutter, identifying strategic pathways, and always keeping the end user in mind.
By sharing my own lived and cultural experiences to meet others at where they are is key for me, and in turn help me dial up your ambitions. With almost 35 years of industry experience i am here to share in the ups and downs and bring honesty to your ideas and ambitions.
