Summary
As an Art Producer and Creative Strategist, I navigate the intersection of contemporary art, immersive media, and large-scale experiential production.
With over a decade of experience, I’ve collaborated with internationally renowned artists, institutions, and brands to bring complex, cross-disciplinary projects to life — from exhibitions and performances to game-based and interactive installations.
My work is defined by a balance of creative vision and technical precision: developing innovative artistic concepts, structuring ambitious productions, and leading teams from idea to installation. I’ve collaborated with artists such as Douglas Gordon, Ian Cheng, Theo Triantafyllidis, and Adina Pintilie, and with institutions including Gagosian, LAS Art Foundation, and Onassis Foundation. Whether delivering museum exhibitions or interdisciplinary art projects, I ensure every production remains conceptually strong, operationally sound, and visually striking.
