42 Roles in the Built Environment - Marketing Director
Professionally I think I’m quite a good analyst. People think I’m creative because I work with a lot of creative people, but my strength is connecting what I think an audience needs, what I think the brief is and what best fits that brief. I've always thought I’d be a good curator of a gallery, rather than an artist - Katie McLean
