About
A San Francisco born now anglophile and freelance graphic designer in London since 2005. I am also an artist agent specialising in Copyright and Intellectual Property Law. I have been in the art and licensing industry for over 16 years having worked at the V&A Museum, Bridgeman Images, West London Free School, Hansel Henson Law firm in London and the law offices of Janis Carney in Saratoga, California.
I retained my Bachelor's HONs at the University of San Francisco in Graphic Design and Fine Art, with a minor in Art History, along with two post graduated degrees from the Courtauld Institute of Art and the University of Manchester: Sotheby's Institute of Art. I also completed my law degree from BPP University.
My graphic design delivers high impact work for a variety of media including websites, print, exhibition displays, packaging and branding. I represent and advise artists in the creative industry offering a bespoke consultation service to help with all licensing, copyright and IP needs. I am currently representing and advising artists in the UK over a number of platforms inclusive, but not limited to, licensing, marketing, art markets, and gallery shows.
I have also worked extensively in market research spanning the financial, educational and cultural arts fields.
