Experience

Editor & Researcher @ Object Embassy, Amsterdam. October 2020 - March 2021

Directed a book project for a start-up focused on sustainable furniture designs, collaborating with various cultural and art institutes. Alongside this, I initiated the company’s online blog and social media as the company’s lead editor and researcher.

Gallery Assistant @ Mini Galerie , Amsterdam. September 2018 - September 2020

Completed an internship which led to my employment as a gallery assistant at a contemporary art space. I focused on generating content for the Wordpress website and social media platforms, as well as assisting with the general running of exhibitions. I found it inspiring to be a part of an organisation with a progressive mission.

Promoted music events to electronic music fans as part of a student-led radio station and conceptualised a new branding style for the station through graphic design and copywriting. Increased Instagram presence and following through the scheduled release of online content.

Organised arts festivals exploring issues at the intersection of art, design and technology. During this time I expanded my graphic design and copywriting skills and creatively directed the branding, themes and curation. Regarding the logistics, I played a key role in liaising with artists and venues and building the exhibitions.
