Contact: hello@FromNow.studio
as a Creative Consultant and Mentor, with a background in grassroots community, mentoring and third sector support and development across the creative, crea-tech projects and the start-up landscape; I enjoy working with folk on the ground. I’m interested in collaborating with creative ideas, social projects, creative industries, impact measurement research, creative-tech collaborations, emerging artists, womxn artists, alternative thinkers, educators, students, funding bodies, public and private sectors, local businesses and creative practitioners..
as a Visual Artist, I listen to and advocate for artists and freelance creative practitioners. I make things, my art practice is drawing based, I take photos too. My practice is ongoing, riding out the same challenges affecting working creatives in the here and now.
I’m working towards sharing more on my personal experiences through my work at FromNow.studio.
