About me

Hi, I’m David – an arts consultant, project manager and creative collaborator. I work with artists, organisations and communities to help bring ideas to life, whether that’s through fundraising, strategic planning, project development or just being a sounding board when things feel a bit stuck.

I believe the arts should be accessible to everyone – not just in how we experience them, but in how we make them happen. A big part of my work is about demystifying the jargon, breaking down barriers, and making things clearer and more achievable for the people doing the work.

I’ve got a background in both the arts and community sectors, and I run a CIC alongside my freelance work. I care about projects that make a difference, and I like finding practical, thoughtful ways to support the people behind them.

Whether you’re an individual figuring things out, a team planning something big, or somewhere in between – I’m here to help.
