Expertise
With a robust career spanning back to 2008, I have honed my skills as a freelance arts manager, focusing primarily on the dynamic realm of the music industry. My core competencies lie in the domains of project and event management, complemented by a strong foundation in fundraising, catering to both small-scale and large-scale events.
Over the years, I have garnered extensive experience in securing public and private funding for a diverse range of creative initiatives, including projects, orchestras, bands, festivals, and music labels. I am proficient in crafting persuasive proposals and navigating the intricate landscape of grant applications, ensuring the financial viability of artistic ventures.
In addition to my managerial proficiency, I also excel in the development and execution of comprehensive concepts for both online and print communications. My creative vision extends to designing eye-catching CD covers and various printed collateral, enhancing the visual and communicative aspects of artistic endeavors.
If you seek a seasoned professional to help realize your artistic ambitions, I am committed to providing innovative solutions and facilitating the success of your projects.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss how I can contribute to your artistic journey.
