REVIEWS OF MY WORK
"[Meg] has put together the most brilliant visual guide to help get you to @VAULTFestival! For anyone where going somewhere new is a little scary, or if you’re just terrible at directions!"
- Antonia Georgieva
"Mention must also go to how accessible the team have made the show. With sensory items available as well as chill out spaces, the whole experience embodies inclusivity and is certainly paving the way for others."
- Rewrite This Story
"Furthermore, I applaud the show’s efforts to make their show incredibly accessible and inclusive, I hope they continue this as the stages they perform on, no doubt increase in size."
