Let’s work together and create something marvellous.

I’m Lizzie. I’m one of those creatively organised folks that the world needs.

I can help bring your idea to life.

I’m people-focused and pride myself in my organisational skills. I enjoy bringing collaborators together from all corners of the creative world and producing something brilliant.

I am an accomplished Project Manager and at home with a spreadsheet (or ten). I have a wealth of experience of working in the cultural and not-for-profit sector – most recently live music.

What I can offer…

Project planning + delivery

With a keen eye on deadlines, I can take the helm and manage your project from inception to delivery and everything in between. Working collaboratively with everyone involved.

Project budgeting + evaluation

Making sense of the numbers, clear and concise record keeping and collating information for end of project reporting and evaluation.

Brand management

Your brand is your voice – and it’s important you don’t lose it! I can make sure your output is consistent and an accurate representation of your organisation, profile or business.

Event management

Covering all aspects of event delivery including ticketing set up, liaising with venues and performers, advancing, scheduling as well as being the main point of contact on event day.

Artist liaison

Working closely with the venue or promoter and artist, I can navigate the needs of both to make sure requested preparations have been made and everyone has what they need to put on a great performance.

Research

Understanding your sector, your peers, similar organisations and the broader cultural landscape can be hugely beneficial to project planning and strategy. I can research, review and advise on what’s out there and use it to help shape your future plans.

Funding application support

There’s no silver bullet when applying for funding – it all starts with a great project idea. I can help you navigate the application process, collate information and manage the budget, timeline and anything else that’s required from the funder.

Who I’ve worked with…
