Rome Area, Italy

Litografia R. Bulla is the world's oldest lithography studio. Now over 200 years old, the studio has collaborated with many of the world's leading artists including Cy Twombly, Lucio Fontana, Carl Andre and Jannis Kounellis. I spent a year with the Bulla family creatively directing the studio to attract to a new generation of artists and continue the studio's incredible artistic legacy, which culminated in the studio's 200 year retrospective exhibition at Rome's Instituto per la Grafica.

Lambeth, London

I joined Damien Hirst's Newport Street Gallery ahead of its opening to help build a remarkable client and visitor experience. I was fortunate to work on a number of high-profile exhibitions that grabbed London's attention including Jeff Koons 'Now', and John Hoyland's 'Power Stations'.

Greek Street & Southbank, London

During my time at Lazarides, managing both their Soho and Southbank locations, I was involved in every aspect of running a gallery, from reaching out to new artists and curating exhibitions, to the sales and shipping of works. This was a role that allowed me to have creative input into the gallery program and encouraged me to push myself and think in broader ways than I had previously. In what could have been seen as a role that was too large for someone of my age, I loved the challenges and feel it helped me flourish. Particular highlights were working on exhibitions with Jonathan Yeo, Ralph Steadman, The Miaz Brothers and Conor Harrington, and building relationships with artists and their studios that I have maintained to today.

Bermondsey, London

I assisted White Cube Bermondsey's Artist Liaison department, helping organise the fabrication of artworks for artists including Tracey Emin and Miroslaw Balka.

London, United Kingdom

My role with StolenSpace was one that allowed me to get involved with anything and everything that was required. As part of a small team, I not only managed the day to day running of the gallery space, but was also responsible for the design of all public material including a gallery re-brand, publications, invitations and online mailers. I regularly managed small teams of colleagues and interns for exhibition installs and gallery events. A particular highlight of my time with the gallery was managing a 15,000 sq ft external gallery space for Shepard Fairey's 'Sound & Vision' exhibition in 2012.

Greater Los Angeles Area

In 2010, I spent one month interning with internationally recognised artist Shepard Fairey and his award winning Studio Number One in Los Angeles, USA.Shepard had been a huge inspiration for me throughout my education, and being able to contribute towards both the commercial and fine art aspects of his work was a dream come true.
