MIRKA Tram

Developed in partnership with Yarra Trams and JCDecaux an art-wrapped tram was designed and planned as part of a moving art installation and promotion for an exhibition. The public response was overwhelmingly positive, allowing an extension of the original run.

Breakfast with Julia Gillard

This was a significant opportunity to have the first and only female Prime Minister of Australia, The Honourable Julia Gillard AC address a capacity room of over 300 guests, followed by an in-conversation with me. It was incredibly enjoyable and successful from a personal and organisational standpoint.

Installation, Melbourne

Partnering with Metro Tunnel, I facillitated and managed the this installation of a large-scale artwork at the end of Scott Alley in Melbourne CBD. Mirka Mora has great cultural significance to Melbourne, not just in the art world, but across fashion and food. This artwork was joyful and fun.

I was part of the instigation and development team for the annual Emerald Hill Festival, coordinating between Council, organisations and arranging all sponsorships. It was successful in bringing and showcasing the diversity of stakeholders, community and organisations, and bringing them together.
