@tblackston
I lead creative direction, production, and operations for global entertainment, live events, luxury retail, and arts organizations.
What I'm looking for
I've led creative direction and production at FMT Entertainment across global entertainment, live events, F&B, and luxury retail as the company grew from $0 to $100M in revenue within three years.
I oversee end-to-end creative output spanning digital content, UX/UI, websites, social, presentations, signage, press, print editorial, proposals, and brand experiences. I've managed budgets from small-scale to multi-million-dollar productions, built international creative teams, and coordinated vendors, procurement, travel, and on-the-ground production across multiple countries.
At Numerati Partners, I built operational infrastructure for a data analytics and tech consultancy and delivered a two-day, 200-attendee InsurTech Innovation Expo in about a month. I also created logistics, communications, and secure project-management systems while connecting scientists, academics, and C-suite clients.
Before that, I founded and operated two New York contemporary art galleries for more than a decade, managing contracts, budgets, exhibitions, staff, and international art-fair logistics. I bring a practical creative perspective shaped by arts, technology, entertainment, and complex live production.
