Expertise

I have been working as a freelance arts manager since 2008. As I am also a musician myself, I mainly work in the music industry.

I specialize in project and event management, but also take care of fundraising for smaller and larger events. I have many years of experience in applying for public and private funds to finance projects, orchestras, bands, festivals and labels.

I also develop and implement concepts for online and print communication and regularly design CD covers and various printed matter.
