I am an experienced buyer and merchandise manager for the cultural and heritage sector with a proven track record of delivering excellent sale results. I have a well rounded skill set that balances a personal passion for art and design with an eye for commercial success. I source and develop quality innovative products that makes the most of the organisation's intellectual property, its exhibition and artistic programme. Simultaneously I take inspiration from high street and trade shows to identify new trends, reflect the zeitgeist and maximise the opportunities from seasonal ranges. I have worked with artists, commissioned designers and licensed assets to create unique, exclusive product ranges. The retail offer I have developed balances the need to be commercial, relevant and profitable without compromising artistic integrity and ensures the organisations brands and values are reflected throughout.
