About

I love turning a familiar space into an emotionally immersive, exciting environment! I am a, "...creative problem solver with good taste and a soft spot for logistical nightmares." - Maria Semple. This completely sums up why I love being a face-to-face experiential marketing consultant. I've been enamored about the event industry since the day I stepped foot in it. Every day presents a new creative challenge. I love consulting and collaborating with clients to present creative solutions for their experiential marketing objectives and goals. I cherish the experiences, memories, and friendships that develop and unfold as visual 3D presentations are shown and executed for my clients' sponsor or trade show exhibits, activations, events and branded environments.
