About

I design experiences that make brands feel human and communities feel seen. Most people plan events. I build the kind of moments that live in someone’s memory long after the room clears. Think the right people, thoughtful gifting, sensory details, and programming that actually means something to the people in it. My work sits at the intersection of culture, storytelling, and strategy. From intimate creator dinners with above-the-line talent to large-scale brand activations and gifting strategy, I bring the same thing every time: cultural intelligence, an obsession with the details, and a point of view that is distinctly mine. By day, I’m a Senior Community Events Manager at Adobe, building creator relationships and producing experiences that move the needle for one of the world’s most recognizable creative brands. By nature, I move with curiosity, taste, and the particular momentum of being a woman with range, a rate card, and a lot to say. 📧 [email protected]

    Hi Aaliyah is the creative home for everything I build outside of my 9 to 5.
