If you’re working in New Zealand’s arts space, chances are you’ve heard of Boosted by the Arts Foundation.
As former Manager of New Zealand’s crowdfunding platform for the arts, I had the joy of working with hundreds of passionate and talented artists and creative crews to fund their vision, and gave my Information for Impact muscles a real workout.
With my Boosted hat on I coached one-on-one, facilitated workshops, ticked the boxes for council and community funding, and worked alongside digital partner UI Revolution to redesign the website.
There is so much in my toolbox to help the arts fly, so keep me in mind for your next project!
