Services:
Project Development, Creative Strategy & Executive Production for Complex Art and Cultural Projects
For commissions, exhibitions, installations and long-term artistic projects across institutional, independent and commercial contexts.
-
For ambitious ideas and projects that need clearer direction, structure and a viable route to commission or delivery.
I work with artists, studios, institutions and brands while a project is still evolving—when the idea is strong but its format, positioning, context, partners, funding or production route are not yet resolved. I help determine what the work can become, where its strongest potential lies, who needs to be involved and what must be built around it to move it forward.
You might hire me when:
• the idea is strong, but the project is not fully formed
• a new commission needs clearer creative or institutional direction
• the work needs the right partners, funding or technical route
• the project has outgrown its original framework -
For complex commissions, exhibitions and installations that require senior responsibility from production planning through public delivery.
I lead projects across physical fabrication, digital production, interactive systems and immersive environments, bringing together artists, institutions, partners, engineers, fabricators and technical teams. I establish the production structure, budgets, schedules and lines of responsibility; manage the critical institutional and technical decisions; and carry the work through fabrication, installation and launch.
You might hire me when:
• a large or technically complex project needs overall leadership
• several institutions, partners and specialist teams need to operate as one
• the financial, contractual or technical stakes exceed standard production management
• the project needs someone senior to carry responsibility through delivery -
For artists who need longer-term development beyond a single exhibition or commission.
I work with artists over time on the direction and positioning of the practice, the development of new work, and the institutional and commercial relationships needed to advance it. Depending on the engagement, this can include identifying commissioners and partners, developing proposals and funding routes, building relationships with curators, galleries and collectors, and representing selected projects or opportunities.
Project representation is selective and defined around an agreed scope; it is not blanket gallery representation.
You might hire me when:
• the work is strong, but the wider direction is unclear
• the practice is entering a new stage and needs sharper positioning
• new projects need to be developed and brought to the right commissioners or partners
• institutional and commercial opportunities need to be approached more deliberately -
For projects that are stalled, fragmented, politically complex or approaching delivery without a workable structure.
I step in when standard project management is no longer enough. The first task is to identify what is actually failing—scope, ownership, budget, decision-making, communication or production logic. The second is to establish clear authority and priorities, make the necessary decisions and rebuild a credible route to delivery.
You might hire me when:
• a project is stuck or losing momentum
• ownership, responsibility or decision-making is unclear
• institutional politics or competing agendas are obstructing progress
• delivery is approaching and the existing structure is no longer viable -
I work through defined project engagements, longer-term collaborations and ongoing strategic retainers with artists, studios, institutions and brands.
Some engagements focus on a specific production or critical phase. Others develop over months or years, particularly where I am involved in long-term artist development, strategic direction or executive production.
Retainers provide continuity of senior involvement across project development, opportunity assessment and critical decisions. Each is structured around an agreed scope, allocation of working days and level of responsibility.
Selected collaborations include:
