Hey there, I’m Sheena - a communications and marketing specialist based in London.

I’m passionate about working with people and bringing culture to broad audiences through compelling and inclusive communications strategies. If you are a cultural organisation or non-profit, I’d love to work with you.


About

With over 15 years of experience at leading non-profit arts organisations and a particular focus on visual art and sustainability, I bring creativity, enthusiasm, care, and dedication to my work.

I thrive working in creative environments with social impact, and am excited by cultural organisations’ potential to spark inspiration and make a meaningful contribution to their communities.

I enjoy working in small teams of like-minded people, and finding opportunities to forge new connections, discover new perspectives, and gain new skills.

& Things

In addition to marcomms (and when I am not gardening, zooming around London by bike, or pickling veggies), I am drawing. I’m currently building a portfolio of illustrations.

Illustrations are a brilliant way to engage audiences. They have miles more personality than stock photos, and can give a new project an appealing identity that can help it stand out. As this is new for me, I’m happy to offer drawings on a low or pro bono basis for charities.

If you need a doodle for your project, I’m happy to have a chat.
