Creative Consultant
Creating synergies and fostering collaborations while helping organizations
and individuals evaluate while managing their creative initiatives.
I advise companies and individuals with expanding and managing creating creative initiatives that bring ROI and exposure. As a Culture Broker and manager in the creative industries I seek to bridge that gap between organizations and facilitate communication and understanding between different cultures. They act as intermediaries or bridges between people or groups from diverse cultural backgrounds, helping to bridge gaps in language, customs, values, and beliefs.
As a culture brokers I play a crucial role in promoting cultural awareness, empathy, and respect. Helping individuals or organizations navigate cultural differences and find common ground for collaboration, negotiation, and cooperation. Based in Europe and expanding to the Middle East working with creatives is a passion of mine. Understand where you are and where you want to go is the first step.
