What
I do

Services

As a project and cultural manager, I oversee projects at the interface of culture, science and innovation. I support and advise project initiators, cultural practitioners and organisations in the implementation of their projects. My areas of expertise are:

Project design and consulting
Project management
Project coordination and negotiation
Fundraising and grant applications
Budgeting and timelines
Project appraisal and project crisis management

No two projects are the same. As such, my commitment is tailored to suit the size and duration of each project.
