About
I am a leading Creative Director, Executive Producer and Strategic Programmes Lead in the area of cultural development.
I was Director of Commissioning and Delivery at UNBOXED, a year-long programme of multi-disciplinary commissions that stretched across the four Nations of the UK. My role created the conditions for an innovative programme leading cross-sectoral teams to create international award-winning world firsts, and which reached 20.5 million people across the UK.
In my role as Lead of the international Playable City Programme, I have curated a digital festival of new work for the Architecture Biennial in Seoul, and advised local governments in Melbourne, Tokyo, and Texas, (among others) on strategies and commissioning models for public art commissioning.
I am experienced in creating and building inclusive multi-million pound cross-sectoral programmes that expand the potential boundaries of culture while finding new routes to entry for audiences, partners, and creators across the globe.
I have received degrees from the Universities of College Cork and Limerick.
