Available to hire
I am a tech-savvy, goal-driven, and ambitious Masters graduate of Visual Arts from Stellenbosch University in South Africa. With experience as a Visual Communication Design lecturer, Curatorial assistant, and exhibitions manager, I thrive in fast-paced environments collaborating with artists, designers, and colleagues. I have a proven track record in international art fair liaison, digital calendar management, executive travel coordination, and digital research.
I enjoy consulting with collectors and high-profile clients, fostering positive professional relationships. Working closely with the gallery director as a main point of contact, I focus on exhibition coordination, artist recruitment, and the digital strategy that keeps the gallery’s yearly schedule successful and engaging.
