About

I am a creative project manager and designer with more than 10 years of experience bringing immersive entertainment, events, retail environments and design-led projects to life. My work combines concept development, game design, spatial planning, production coordination and operational delivery, with a strong focus on budgets, suppliers, teams and customer experience. I enjoy turning ambitious ideas into well-planned, memorable experiences that work both creatively and commercially.

Alongside my professional roles, I founded and manage Arkham Escape Rooms, where I have designed and delivered more than 20 in-house games and over 50 external event concepts. I have also coordinated major retail rollouts, facilities projects and exhibition productions across multiple markets. I am a collaborative, hands-on leader who enjoys solving complex delivery challenges and supporting teams from the first concept through to launch and ongoing operations.
