What I'm looking for

I am a Creative and strategic Event Experience Designer with over 13 years of success in producing immersive, high-impact experiences across B2B conferences, incentive programs, VIP hospitality, and multi-day activations. My expertise lies in crafting visually compelling and emotionally resonant programs that deepen audience engagement and enhance brand affinity.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to balance aesthetics with operational excellence. I have successfully spearheaded event catering logistics and sales for high-profile conferences, contributing significantly to team revenue. My experience includes managing event timelines, stakeholder communications, and vendor operations, ensuring seamless execution of events that resonate with audiences.

Recognized for my multi-functional ability and cross-functional collaboration, I have built strong relationships with elite clientele and vendors. I am passionate about storytelling in event design and am committed to delivering exceptional experiences that honor both strategy and soul.
