Biography
I work on projects related to creative freelancers and Coventry as City of Culture 2021. My own research explores the creative and cultural sector using an ecosystem approach. I'm interested in:
• Creative and cultural industries, particularly policy support and systems thinking / approaches.
• Understanding audiences and stakeholders.
• Qualitative research methods, planning for impact, and writing practice.
