Professional.
I’m a creative professional with over a decade of experience in design management. I specialize in developing immersive exhibitions for a diverse range of environments, including cultural, corporate, and public spaces. Exhibitions typically include creative, technical and physical design.

Primarily focusing on driving the creative process, helping cross-functional, interdisciplinary teams develop concepts, set priorities, and ensure progress from concept to installation. I have coordinated double-digit, cross-border, and remote teams effectively, utilizing both in-person and virtual communication/design tools. I serve as a communicative link between creative teams, executives, and clients. I focus keenly on risk, impacts, and opportunities, managing project communication, schedule, budget, and assets.
My ultimate goal is to make positive impacts to design development by tracking dependencies, progress status, ideation, prototyping and testing.

Storytelling is the fundamental principle guiding all my creative endeavors. I prioritize purpose, audience, and resonance, continually supporting my teams to strengthen these elements throughout the development process. I am always evaluating the narrative power inherent in all design mediums. The boundless potential for creative application is what keeps me passionate and engaged.

When working on exhibition projects integrating digital media and technology, I excel in supporting production teams to conceptualize and develop bespoke and compelling content. This could encompass custom photoshoots, animation, video production and sound design. Whether collaborating with in-house talent or external vendors, I ensure teams adhere to timelines and budget constraints.
I provide hands-on, day-to-day management for small production teams, including Designers, Creative Directors, Videographers, Editors, and crew. I also possess experience in AV presentation for small stage productions, which includes video projection, screens, microphones, speakers, networking, lighting, and power setup. Whether the medium is interactive or linear, displayed on a mobile device or a two-story LED tower, all media is produced with meticulous attention to detail and enthusiasm.

My experience includes cultivating meaningful community engagement to reinforce concepts, test design approaches, identify priorities, raise funds, and increase interest in collaboration with the end users.
In prioritizing the target audience in all phases of creative development, I utilize surveys, research, and workshops to deeply understand the audience and identify critical social and cultural considerations. This ensures the project teams I work with can integrate valuable feedback from diverse communities.
