Bridie, Digital Communications Associate

“I believe in working with arts organisations that create experiences and opportunities that are accessible and non-exclusive. Upswing does not only that, but also works to develop the sector so that we and other organisations can learn from each other and evolve our work from the inside out. As a result our collective output continues to become even more valuable and relevant to the people we create work with and for.“

Bridie is a creative digital freelancer working in communications, graphic design, web design, marketing and administration. Alongside her work for Upswing, Bridie manages the content and strategy for BunHouse and its two sister restaurants in central London, and creates websites and branding packages for small businesses. Before joining Upswing, she was the Centre Manager for Sunshine International Arts – A leading carnival company and community arts centre based in South London.

Bridie is passionate about curating spaces, experiences and campaigns. Her background is in illustration and running creative events, and her client work is informed by the know-how she built from branding and marketing her own projects.
