I currently work part time for this prestigious florist processing new orders received by phone and email; assisting the in-house design team with new designs for greeting cards, packing paper and official documentation and filing invoices, daily order lists and driver time-sheets. In addition to these tasks I also assist the florists with their activities during quieter periods in the office and I also participated in several overnight installations during the run up to Christmas 2018.

May 2015 - Nov 2016
In addition to supervising the gallery space and managing the museum shop I was also regularly involved with exhibition promotion in the form of mail outs and local area canvassing. I served as a tour guide for temporary exhibitions, conducted evening life-drawing sessions, and coordinated outreach work with children and vulnerable adults in collaboration with the Stuart Low Trust, an Islington-based charity.

Gallery Assistant (Holland Park) & Gallery Manager (Kings Cross)
-
Jul 2015 - Sep 2016
I managed all social media activities for both galleries and the Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize 2015 utilising in-depth knowledge and understanding of social media platforms. I also managed and coordinated all administrative and sales-related activities at the Kings Cross site for the duration of this RBS-PP 2015. Additionally, I provided counsel to the gallery director concerning exhibition stand curation at the London Art Fair 2015 and also the Masterpiece Art Fair 2015. KEY CONTRIBUTIONS: • Organised and maintained a computerised database from scratch detailing all of the works on paper by deceased artist Leo Davy that the gallery continues to use for sales purposes. • Created artist biographies and descriptions for the artworks displayed during the Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize 2015. This information was presented on Instagram and became a useful tool when conversing with visitors and negotiating sales. Show less
