Nearly twenty years on and not only are we changing lives through Big Creative Training and Academy (BCE) but we can now extend our vision through the launch of Creative Works, a shared workspace and community for the 21st century in the heart of East London."

Hi, I’m Ruby, the Creative Works Receptionist.

I’m the person you’ll see as soon as you walk through the door, making sure you feel welcomed, looked after, and ready for a great day in the space. I help with bookings, support the team with daily operations, and keep the atmosphere friendly, organised, and community-focused.

Creativity has always been a big part of my life. I’m half Kiwi, half British, and I studied Performing and Production Arts at City and Islington College. When I’m not at the front desk, you’ll usually find me writing and producing music, roller skating, or analysing every hidden detail in Black Mirror episodes.
