Since leaving the tech industry in 2011, I have been fortunate enough to work alongside many designers and creative directors throughout New York City and Los Angeles. Together, we have produced some truly unique and inspiring events and interior spaces. My passion in event design started when I first landed a sketching job for a small event production company in college. There, I was hired to create fashion illustrations of guests at events. The more I illustrated at events, the more interested I became in event design. Since 2011, I led two professional lives in New York City. By day, I worked as a Senior Experiential Designer for a large experiential marketing agency. By night, I worked as a fashion illustrator, sketching at events, participating in Art Battles, collaborating with other artists or flying across the country to illustrate at weddings and runway shows.
My management skills, in addition to my creative intuition are what have allowed me to enjoy a successful career as a Senior Experiential Designer. I have a solid understanding of event production and design, and have expertise in working across multiple industries including fashion, automotive, beverage, technology and lifestyle.
I am highly detailed oriented with strong communication skills and a very solid work ethic. My interest in fashion, and having a background in branding has helped me to create events that are always on-trend, relevant, and still uniquely engaging.
I currently work in Los Angeles as a freelance experiential designer and illustrator.
