about

Aksana Khan

Producer whose work has been featured in Time Out, BBC News, and on their mum’s fridge.

You’re in the right place if you’re looking for a project manager who uncompromisingly centres a warm approach in getting things done, ensures clear communication in everything they do, and knows what it’s like to work with different resourcing at local, regional, and national levels.

What I do is:

facilitate partnerships that are wellbeing informed for both participants and staff
produce events and programmes – the “Aksana” magic is focusing marketing and programming strategies to drive participation, footfall, and engagement
project evaluation – I work with teams to understand key metrics, devise the methodologies, and write up the reports
marketing and comms from website management, social media strategy, content creation, copywriting, and press.
plan and deliver workshops ranging on topics such as inclusive practice, financial wellbeing, and more
make niche memes and watch a lot of TV

What’s my boundaries? You should know that:

I’m a born and bred Londoner but adopted West Midlander (since 2012). I regularly work on location.
Taking a leaf out of Gen Z’s books, I now work reduced hours during Ramadan, don’t work during Eid and for a week in mid-November (as that’s my birthday week!)

What’s going on for me at the moment? (last updated March 2025)

I’m currently doing freelancing comms for Selina Thompson Ltd. Fave highlight so was getting their new mid-scale show Twine on the BBC Breakfast Show!
I am on the 3rd cohort of the New Museum School Advanced Programme where I am studying remotely and part time for an MA in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester.
My books are open for work.
