Carpenters Workshop Gallery Special Projects Manager

For over three years, I worked at Carpenters Workshop Gallery as a Special Projects Manager, supporting and leading initiatives driven by the founders’ vision. These projects often leveraged existing resources to explore new and exciting directions for the organisation, all while remaining true to its distinctive identity, language, and universe. This approach not only enriched the gallery’s own journey but also offered a dynamic and engaging experience for its clients.
