Creative solutions that connect people and place
Hello
Sharp Graphics is a female-founded creative consultancy with roots dating back to the early 1990s, when the name was first created to produce flyers with a friend at the start of our creative journey.
In 2006, the name was revived as I transitioned from working as an ICT Business Adviser into freelance new media consultancy, something that felt both fitting and intuitive at the time.
Since then, Sharp Graphics has evolved in response to changing technologies, market shifts, and life priorities. Today, it operates as a multifaceted service provider, bringing together practical delivery, creative thinking, and structured project management, supported by PRINCE2 methodologies.
With a strong focus on the Arts, Culture, and Heritage sectors, we offer a broad range of services including live event production, stakeholder engagement, audience development, branding, and integrated communications across digital and traditional channels.
Our experience spans the public, private, and third sectors, enabling effective collaboration with local authorities, health partnerships, and community organisations. Whether delivering interim support or longer-term projects, we are committed to creating measurable, positive impact, supporting social, health, and economic wellbeing through creative and audience-focused approaches.

My Story
I am passionate about planning, collaboration, and co‑production, working across multi‑agency and multidisciplinary settings as a Project Manager and Producer. I enjoy bringing people together to deliver creative, inclusive, and meaningful work.
Drawing on skills that translate across Touring, Community Engagement and Audience Development, I have contributed to NHLF, Arts Council England (ACE), and UKRI funding bids. More recently, I have collaborated with organisations including Tricolour Associates, the University of Bradford, and the Government’s Towns Fund Programme.
My portfolio includes work with organisations such as the first cybercafe - Cyberia, The Old Vic, BBC, National Museum of the Royal Navy, Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens, Business Link, Emerald Global Publishing, and the N
In my role as Communications Manager at Shipley Town Council, I led on brand development, PR, and marketing activity, supporting civic engagement and community participation. This included producing the district-wide Unlocked activity map and supporting events such as the Summer Street Arts Festival and Christmas Lights Switch-On.
Through my work with Kirkgate Community Centre, as Community Programmer, I have led digital product development projects that improved data governance, created sustainable communication channels, and increased engagement. Alongside this, I supported the co-creation and delivery of an accessible and inclusive programme of community activity for a diverse range of participants.
I previously oversaw the safe landing of Governments initiatives at regional level, the Family Arts and Well-Being activities at the Cloud Spotting Music and Arts Festival in Gisburn Forest and I've project managed the successful delivery of the Right Queer Right Now Festival of Performance, showcasing international and national LGBTQI+ artists, alongside producing Queer Nan’s Kitchen. I led the stakeholder engagement and involvement strategy for a £1.2 million Towns Fund Transformation Project and current Senior Producer at Theatre in the Mill and Art Council England - National Portfolio Organisation. My approach to community engagement is rooted in collaboration, care and responsiveness to place. I work closely with communities, artists and creative practitioners to develop projects that are shaped by lived experience and local context. This involves creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where people feel comfortable to share, explore ideas and participate in creative processes. Through workshops, facilitation and co-creation, I support the development of work that builds connections, amplifies diverse voices and results in meaningful, shared outcomes.
As a conceptual artist, I continue to explore the relationship between creativity, innovation, and technology, and currently working with the Bradford Teach Hospital Trust in creating a piece for the Field House staff garden project. I am an active member of the West Yorkshire Producer Network (WYPN), was named emerging artist and exhibited at the 20025 Sonic Festival, Yorkshire Women’s Sound Network (YWSN), and an member of the Cultural Voice Forum (CVF).
