Delme Thomas
Experiential Storyteller
I recently completed an MA in Events & Experiences Management at Goldsmiths University, where I achieved Distinction and was awarded The Gold Award.
Everything I do is centred around stories, and I work with people across various fields. I help create events and craft experiences, from live productions to video games to immersive audio experiences.
With a 14-year background in the arts as an actor, writer and maker, I bring the indispensable skills I have developed within that world to the experiential space. That creativity, combined with the practical skills learnt in my MA, gives me a multi-layered skillset. My interests cross the borders of world-building, immersion, and elements of play within transformative experiences that transport people from their everyday lives.
Background
I'm a multi-award-winning creative who has worked worldwide, including the West End and Off-Broadway. I am an Associate Artist with Fast Familiar, a digital studio that creates ‘audience-centric’ experiences. Together, we have devised and co-written a host of experiences, from interactive video games to audio walks and research tools.
In 2022, I worked at Lush’s Global Flagship Store on Oxford Street as a Supervisor and part of the In-Store Events team. The events I curated for the store were unique, immersive experiences designed to captivate the customers with a high level of interactivity. Notably, I designed and led a highly successful not-for-profit ‘London Pride’ weekend-long experience, as well as a month-long ‘Plastic-Free July’ celebration that led to a 13.93% increase in gross profit of 'naked products' from the previous year, with a 15% increase in sales of units.
