Senior Lead Designer at WeWork EMEA. Designer, maker and curator of art within WeWork buildings. Myself and my team specialised in the development of unique artworks - designing hand painted murals, custom neon signage, hand painted canvases, rugs, fabrics, wallpaper design and more. We collaborated with interior designers on each project to curate, design and physically create dynamic, uplifting interior work spaces in major cities across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. 

I was the first hire outside of WeWork’s NY headquarters, helping to build and recruit designers and artists for the EMEA Art / Graphics Team. As the company grew rapidly, I took on a wider role leading the team and in 2019 was promoted to Art Director.

My broad role encompassed curation and sourcing of select pieces of art for each project direct from galleries and artists, as well as commissioning one-off, custom guest artist pieces and installations.
