She participated in many art fairs around the world including Paris, Bologna, Brussels, New York, and Miami. In June 2009 she was appointed to direct the building's Bund 18 gallery in Shanghai, China, which then became the MD Gallery. She published an extensive anthology of street art. In 2015 she expanded her gallery business in London with her pop-up space, The London Project.
