Private Super YachtBosun
Aug. 2016 - Oct. 2021I have been working on premier super yachts since late 2016, upholding the showroom condition of the yacht and maintaining some of the most opulent and luxurious operations globally. This role taught me to be an advocate of detail, the finer things and the needs of a discerning clientele. Overall, I have been working with a team to deliver a world-class luxury experience for the owners and their superyachts I was fortunate enough to work for some of the notable collectors of contemporary works, including the largest collector of Pop Art. During my time I have been fortunate enough to travel within the Mediterranean and East Coast United States. I was often called to accompany the owner to art events while travelling with the vessel – these included Venice Biennale and Art Basel, Miami.

Bassa GalleryGallery Director
Aug. 2015 - Feb. 2016Cape Town, Western Cape, South AfricaThe gallery showcased the works of Bassa Aspinall, in a world-class style gallery, boasting glossy white floors and brilliant lighting.
I ran the daily operations of business including events management, sales, marketing, client relations and managing the overall brand of the artist. I found my foundation with Everard Read and Auriti to be instrumental in my workings with this gallery. The role was incredibly rewarding as it challenged the standard gallery model – representing a singular artist and finding ways to expose, exhibit and sell works to clients. I found great pleasure in showcasing the gallery for bespoke events and presenting new collections for Bassa Aspinall.

Auriti specialised in exhibition execution in private and commercial spaces – these projects included the first 21 Icons exhibition at the Museum of African Design (JHB) and Art of the Brick, a massive project exhibited to the broader public at Cape Town’s Watershed. I worked closely with ex-director of Everard Read, Nick Dreyer who proved to be an excellent mentor in art business and client relations.
