Additional Projects
My client had very specific needs for this meeting: orderly yet welcoming seating, congruous aesthetics with the venue, and the ability to move chairs around. This event allowed me to exercise functional yet beautiful minimalism.
This Client Appreciation Event gave me an opportunity to pull together great CORT products, work with some of my favorite vendors, and create beautiful spaces to show clients what's possible for their events. This showroom in 2018 focused on bright colors and gorgeous lighting.
This space in my 2018 Client Appreciation event was warm and luxurious, showcasing how the right furniture, decor, and lighting choices can create a romantic ambiance.
ABOUT ME
I’ve always enjoyed planning and entertaining. According to my mother, I planned my own 10th birthday party complete with a scavenger hunt, an elaborate obstacle course with prizes and a bicycle decorating contest, followed by a parade around the neighborhood. I’ve always been a list maker, an organizer, the one in school who took the lead on group projects.
Three mantras drive my work:
-
Start with Why - Every event I design begins and ends with its strategic purpose. I focus on creating an attendee experience that flows directly from the goals that have been set by my organization, clients or partners.
-
Make it Sticky - I aim to create memorable environments and activations that will stick with attendees long after the event has ended and keep them talking, posting on social media and coming back for more.
-
Never Stop Learning - I consistently seek out opportunities to hone my skills, learn new things and get better at what I do.
volunteer Work
Volunteering in my community has enriched my life. In every volunteer position I've held, I've learned valuable new skills and grown as a person and professional.
