Meet the Team

Working for you.

Jacob Brandon

Curator and Co-Organiser

I have lived in Torquay for over 20 years but it is only recently that I have truly begun to appreciate it as a home to be celebrated for its innovation, unique heritage and significant cultural offer.

Having worked in Arts and Culture for 7 years, including managing a community art space for the past 4, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wealth of creative minds, curating a diverse range of exhibitions and arts events across Torbay and further afield.

As part of the organising team for the first ever TEDxTorquay event, I’m excited to be collaborating with some incredibly talented curators and programmers, as well as an exceptional line up of speakers in association with the TED ethos.

Technical Coordinator
TEDx Torquay! How exciting, I am so glad to be a part of this team. 3 years in Torquay and what Torquay has to offer just keeps growing. I have a keen interest in community enriching events in Torquay which is why I have volunteered with TEDx.

Throughout my training and career, I have assisted in organising events in multi-faceted roles. I take a keen interest in photography and film, mainly developed from long standing voluntary and freelance projects. I hope that my skills and enthusiasm will support our event and help us share the TED message.
