About Me

I’m a non-binary, neurodivergent creative working across:

• …and more and everything in between

My workload includes:

• Social media posts and website updates
• Researching commissions, residencies, and opportunities
• Application writing and reporting
• Project planning and logistics
• Budgeting, invoicing, quotes

About the Role
