Who I am
With over 12 years in the arts, I design and coordinate international projects in the cultural and creative industries. After 10 years in South Africa, including 7 years as a cultural coordinator at IFAS, I bring a deep understanding of African–European cultural dynamics, extensive experience in multicultural collaboration, and a proven ability to navigate the diplomatic dimensions of a project. With a masters degree in scenography, I’m drawn to challenging projects where the artistic meets the technical and the administrative the political — spaces where creativity and strategy work hand in hand.
