@laylacline
Event-focused creative leader driving fundraising, digital storytelling, and revenue growth through strategic operations.
United StatesI am an event and operations professional with a strong foundation in creative business leadership, fashion merchandising, and digital commerce. I have led large-scale fundraisers, managed vendor and sponsor relationships, and used data-driven strategies to exceed goals—most notably directing a 750-attendee gala that raised $460K.
I blend hands-on event execution with digital storytelling and e-commerce experience, having migrated catalogs to Shopify, managed websites, and leveraged CRM systems to streamline sales and operations. I bring budgeting, volunteer leadership, and cross-functional collaboration skills to roles that require both strategic planning and meticulous execution.
