In the ‘90s, I became very involved in the early days of establishing creative industries as a redoubtable force in the UK economy, and in 2000 I set up my company, CIDA (the Creative Industries Development Agency) with the aim of helping the sector itself recognise its newly acknowledged role in society! We quickly developed an international reputation, and I worked in over 50 countries, with governments, statutory bodies, grassroots creative organisations and thousands of artists of every artform imaginable, to strengthen the capacity of the creative sector to be seen as an essential contributor to economic success. Working on direct commissions as well as through the British Council and the EU, our clients ranged from various transnational partnerships across Europe; African governments including Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe; Singapore’s Workforce Development Agency; Latin American organisations in Colombia, Brazil, and Chile; festivals in Florida and in Trinidad; and, most recently, in Al Ula in Saudi Arabia. In the UK, I now mentor a number of artists and arts organisations as well as being the Course Director for Creative Newham’s Cultural Producers programme, a three-year programme in East London funded by the Arts Council. I’m Chair of the award-winning Balbir Singh Dance Company based in Yorkshire and an Associate of My Cake, the financial benchmarking specialist for the third sector.

A design consultancy and co-working space based in the historic Victorian artisan enclave of Iliffe Yard in Walworth, London. With over 20 years of experience across the design industry, Teekall’s practice is rooted primarily in commercial spatial design, complemented by a rich background in graphic design and visual communications. Working at the intersection of commercial development, civic ambition, and creative enterprise, Teekall specializes in public art programming, creative placemaking, and community-centered urban infrastructure. Combining his extensive design background with a dedicated commitment to community-led governance, he is the former Chair of the London Community Land Trust (London CLT) and a School Governor. His work bridges the gap between local authorities, commercial developers, educational institutions, and cultural organisations. Delivering place-based regeneration, public domain renewals, and creative workforce initiatives that anchor long-term identity, value, and artist-led innovation into the built environment. Central to Teekall’s approach is a focus on meaningful community engagement and artistic collaboration. He designs and facilitates immersive workshops that empower local residents and stakeholders to shape their surroundings, while collaborating closely with artists to co-create special, deeply connected public art pieces that authentically reflect local heritage, stories, and civic pride. Teekall continues to champion local economic and social resilience through active involvement with the Southwark Chamber of Commerce, community gardening, and neighborhood initiatives. https://www.culturaltransitions.co.uk/collaborators/natasha-k-stone monthly 0.5 2026-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69d907e3180441220278f9fc/ade751bc-7ca0-4873-beee-71298fa4db92/Screenshot+2025-11-12+at+15.01.56.png Collaborators - Natasha K Stone - Marketing Strategist & Entrepreneur Natasha is a marketing strategist and entrepreneur working across culture, performance, art and technology.
