Practice

Representation and management. Long-term career planning, contract negotiation, thoughtful opportunity choices, and the day-to-day advocacy that gives an artist more space to concentrate on the work.

Festivals and programming. Festival operations, artist relations, and program design, with close attention to the communication, logistics, and hospitality that shape an artist’s experience.

Institutions and the public sector. Artist-centered initiatives where creative ambition must work alongside public accountability, internal processes, and the needs of a wider community.

Partnerships and negotiation. Structuring agreements and expectations so artists and organizations understand not only what they are making together, but how they will make it and what each side needs.
