Danielle joined Watershed in October 2021 as Network Producer. In this new role for the organisation, Danielle supports the Pervasive Media Studio community to develop new partnerships and networks; making its R&D community more visible and creating more accessible opportunities to participate.

Prior to joining Watershed, Danielle's work over the last 19 years has included festival producing, project management of a national strategic touring project, international tour management for commercial music acts, managing artist development programmes and programming live performance. Organisations she has worked for include Southbank Centre, Wandsworth Council, Lighthouse - Poole's Centre for the Arts, Pavilion Dance South West, Wide Awake Devon, Inside Out Dorset Festival, Plymouth City Museum & Art Gallery, Arts University Bournemouth and The Dartington Hall Trust.

Immediately before joining the Watershed team, Danielle worked for Wandsworth Borough Council on arts and events in Nine Elms, one of the largest regeneration projects in Europe. That role included local engagement with schools, community groups and resident associations. She also brokered conversations between developers / landowners and artists / arts orgs, and managed partnerships with organisations including Battersea Arts Centre, Theatre503 and World Heart Beat.
