Consultancy + Producing Portfolio
I am a senior network & creative producer, project manager, and strategic consultant operating across the cultural, museum, creative technology, and immersive art sectors. With over two decades of experience—anchored by management and producing roles within Watershed, MyWorld, and the Museum of East Asian Art—I provide highly specialised consultancy and production support for organisations, creative businesses/teams, and charities/CICs requiring expert management for complex, multi-stakeholder programmes.
My approach to consultancy is built on delivery, strategic vision support, and accessibility/EDI practices. I help people move ambitious concepts into engaging, sustainable projects by designing robust funding, delivery, and evaluation frameworks. Driven by my own active artistic practice, my approach is deeply rooted in a creative, audience-centred philosophy.

March 2026 – Present
Working alongside Poet, educator, MC, theatre maker Adam Kammerling, Cèlia acts as the Strategic and Evaluation Consultant and Producer for the New Horizons Academy Creative Writing Project. In this role, she shapes the overarching development framework and co-designs robust evaluation methodologies to measure the project's impact. Her work includes managing the impact reporting for First Story in London, tracking qualitative and quantitative outcomes to demonstrate how multimedia and multidisciplinary creative interventions boost confidence and literacy.

Freelance Window Wanderland Creative/Network Producer
May 2025 – June 2026
For this Arts Council England-funded programme, Cèlia coordinated a national network of grassroots festival organisers, delivering Window Wanderland events across the UK and abroad. Driven by community feedback, the team initiated and delivered a nationwide "Campaign of Hope," successfully unifying 11 regional festivals under a singular collaborative framework. In parallel, she supported a dedicated creative initiative with asylum seekers and local families, which involved prominent public art displays at major Bristol city-centre landmarks including Sparks and Watershed. She then produced the integration of these community showcases into the high-profile Bristol Light Festival (Plus-Programme), elevating grassroots artwork to a major regional city-wide platform.
Network Producer at Watershed
March 2024 – April 2025
As the Network Producer based at the Pervasive Media Studio, Cèlia drove audience development and ecosystem growth for MyWorld—a prestigious £30 million UKRI government-backed creative technology and immersive media R&D programme. Bridging the gap between creative industries and academic research across the West of England, she spearheaded strategic engagement initiatives designed to make cutting-edge immersive innovation accessible to diverse creative sectors. Collaborating with international partners, regional stakeholders, and cross-disciplinary toolmakers, her work focused on widening participation, mapping local creative capability, and nurturing robust cross-sector networks to anchor Bristol’s position as a global leader in screen-based technology and collaborative R&D.
Mentorship Frameworks Consultant
September 2024 – May 2025
Cèlia acted as a Strategic and Mentorship Consultant for Noods Levels’ Two Step Programme, a vital community interest company (CIC) dedicated to breaking down barriers and diversifying the creative workforce within the music and broadcasting sectors. In this role, she provided targeted strategic guidance to help shape their professional development frameworks and refine their educational pathways. Beyond designing robust mentorship frameworks and evaluation tools for the young participants, she directly delivered specialised training to the music businesses and host organisations housing these placements, as well as their mentors. This work ensured that industry employers and mentors were fully equipped to provide equitable, ethical, and structured support, empowering talent from underrepresented backgrounds while embedding sustainable operational models for the organisation’s long-term network growth.
Museum Programmes Manager & Curator
2009 – 2024
Learning & Programmes Manager: For fourteen years, Cèlia led the interpretation, public programming, and creative engagement strategies for the Museum of East Asian Art in Bath—the UK’s unique museum dedicated entirely to the arts and cultures of East and Southeast Asia. In this role, she designed complex public-facing learning initiatives, managed community partnership programmes, and translated the collection’s information into highly accessible public interpretation.
Exhibition Curator: A defining milestone of her curatorial tenure was the exhibition Connecting Threads: Fashion Inspired by the MEAA Collection (2023). Acting as Lead Curator, Cèlia spearheaded an innovative, interdisciplinary collaboration with Bath College art and design students. The project challenged contemporary designers to respond directly to the museum's permanent antiquities—juxtaposing ancient objects with cutting-edge fashion to explore the global trajectories, material culture, and enduring stylistic influence of East Asian dress. This project epitomised her practice: building participatory, story-driven, and multi-layered spatial experiences that bridge heritage collections with living, community-led creative expression.
February 2020 – December 2020
Cèlia collaborated with Creative Workforce for the Future—a high-profile, regional initiative funded by the West of England Combined Authority (WECA) and the European Social Fund. The programme was designed to challenge industry recruitment paradigms, make employment practices more equitable, and support underrepresented young creative professionals entering the cultural sector.
Initially joining the scheme as a Strategic Inclusion Consultant, Cèlia delivered diagnostic frameworks and operational guidance to help regional cultural organisations auditing and adjusting their workspace structures for diverse workforces. Following this initial strategic design phase, she transitioned into a Professional Mentor embedded directly with Bristol Museums. In this capacity, she provided dedicated, long-term career mapping, professional development strategies, and confidence-building guidance for emerging creatives completing professional industry placements, dismantling institutional barriers to ensure a more accessible, representative, and future-facing regional cultural workforce
