I manage cultural and civic capital work, carrying it from the budget and the contracts through fabrication, freight and installation on live sites.

Scope

• Vendor point of contact. Every vendor ran through me: logistics, timelines, budget alignment, and the documentation for international freight from South Africa, the UK, Mexico and the US and for domestic final-mile delivery.
• Contracts. Oversaw contracts signed before my onboarding. Negotiated and owned all additional contracted work, scope expansions and logistics contracting, and took each through client approval.
• Budget recovery. Inherited a broken project budget. Led the audit and overhaul with two colleagues, then owned the budget from that point forward.
• Drawings and installation. Worked from site plans, structural details and shop drawings to coordinate artists, engineering and construction management. Signed off and documented every delivery. Supported artist install teams, and ran installation directly when they were not on site.
• Procedures and controls. Wrote three SOPs covering project management, logistics, budgets and reporting. Tracking in Monday.com with action and decision logs and approvals; budget and invoice oversight in Google Sheets; condition reporting.
• Client contact. Point of contact for the client on site through shipping, receiving and every install date, and online in between, while reporting to the DVDL team in New York, across 4+ concurrent project phases.

Scope

• Project-managed the build from finished plans to an operating store.
• Permits and inspections. Supported zoning and demolition permits, and was present for inspections.
• Worked from the construction drawings on site, translating them into build-ready implementation and spatial detailing.
• Primary client contact across trades, fabricators and vendors. Materials research and fabrication oversight across architectural infrastructure and custom furniture.

Scope

Scope

• Options appraisal. Modeled $5M–$50M investment scenarios in Excel at line-item specificity, referencing prior investment decks: variable combinations of acquired, loaned and commissioned works, plus cultural programs and activations varied by cost and seasonality. Scenarios hold at every funding level without redesign.
• Directed concept development and engaged the client teams. Concept and zoning plans approved by the client.
• Developed and finalized every client deck and budget: park typologies, investment scenarios, and how the park changes from day to night and season to season. Often on 24-hour turnarounds.

Scope

• Co-developed the $5.5M budget with my manager.

• Speaking program. Coordinated, negotiated and confirmed about 30 engagements; presented about five.
• New offerings. Launched the newsletter and converted it to a paid Patreon membership within three months. With the two-season podcast and the speaking program, about $20K a month in recurring revenue.
