  Zoe Megins-Davies

  Venue Consultant at Arup
  ARUP

  My creative background and operational experience inform a holistic approach to experience-led design for cultural buildings and city interventions. An unwavering commitment to social value, equity and diversity underpins all of my work. I have worked for a wide range of cultural organisations in various operational roles in the UK and SE Asia. My experience in the arts includes production, stage, and venue management as well as arts education and community engagement. I am also privileged to be a board member with the fantastic 20 Stories High Theatre group in Liverpool and co-chair of Connect Out, Arup's LGBTQ+ network. My varied arts background helps to inform work in early-stage concept and strategic planning whilst also informing designs and business cases with the realities of day-to-day operation. As co-lead of Arup’s Technology Portfolio Cities & Infrastructure group I help drive research in developing strategies that improve the futures of cities and communities. I am currently completing a master’s degree in Cities, Creativity and Culture alongside my consulting practice, analysing the role of effective cultural policy and intervention in our cities.
