Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Hi! I'm Lucie, an experienced event professional with a background in non-profit and corporate planning. I've had the great joy of working with a variety of clients from large scale fundraising galas and golf tournaments, to intimate gatherings and meetings. I strive to become a part of your team from the initial kick off meeting and guide you the entire way. I am constantly thinking of plan A, B, C, all the way through the alphabet to make sure events run smoothly, no matter what gets thrown at us! Throughout my career, I have been honored to be a part of fundraisers generating funds for worthy causes like medical research and funding, career training and creation, and animal welfare. I can't wait to meet you and see what magic we can make together!
I have a degree in design and fashion, which allows me to approach events from a creative angle and give them a truly unique look and feel. I also have professional experience in accounting so I understand the in-depth budgeting side of events as well as the aesthetics. If you can't create an event within the budget, if won't happen! Both the creative and the analytical side are equally important: which is why my right brain/left brain mentality is perfect. I see each event as an opportunity to create a unique experience for the attendees, and I love creating immersive events where the attendees are transported to another world.
