Call me to talk about

Mind-Blowing, World Class Creative Event Production, Tech, and Logistics

I will guide you through the conception, planning, and producing of events that your attendees will never forget. From cruise ships, resort buyouts, to 9,800 ft in the sky on the top of a mountain, I've done it, soup to nuts.
During my time running Production and Design at Summit Series I produced multiple 1000+ person events. From cruise ship charters, a rented out ski village to an empty mountain top at 9,000 feet in remote northern Utah. On the mountain, all infrastructure, sets and staging, pathways and roads were built from scratch inside of 10 weeks. I've also overseen the planning, production, and execution of countless other events and happenings from special VIP 10 person dinners to 300 person weekend retreats.

Business and Brand/Culture Development

Your prospects need to understand the what and why of your business as much as you do. Solid core values also enable your company to make faster, more straightforward decisions. I'll guide you to developing core values, a clear brand narrative, and a company culture that will help define your business path and inform decisions from funding strategy and scale to who your audience truly is. This is usually most valuable for companies who have achieved early signals of product/market fit and want to focus their message as well as solidify the internal culture and values o their company. We'll figure out where you are at, what you need and work on things like refining product strategy and narrative and establishing core values. As well as communicating these elements to your prospects, customers, and employees through design, marketing, creative direction. We can also talk about building business longevity through employee well-being, company culture, and retention.

No BS Mentorship and Networking

There is immense value in having an experienced, supportive but objective and private third party to talk to. Whether to bounce ideas, impending decisions, or challenges of business or personal nature; having such an outlet is critical. The result is typically less stress, new perspectives, and clearer, better decision making.

I love mentoring and talking it out with emerging and advancing artists and entrepreneurs.
I also love connecting people! and often utilize my network and will connect mentees to other professionals with relevant experience, access, and expertise.

Let me be clear. There may be some "touchy feely" stuff involved, humans are squishy after all, but I am not here to make you feel better about making poor decisions. I am here to help you realize what you want, what your business needs and to make the best decisions for yourself and your company.

I have 14+ years of experience as a professional and entrepreneur. My passion for learning and deepening relationships combined with my roles as a friend, partner, boss, employee, consultant, sole proprietor, and VC backed company founder, has lead me to become especially focused on the dynamics, theory, and psychology of interpersonal relationships, decision making pitfalls, and negotiation strategy. I also study and practice attachment theory, EFT, non-positional (interested based) negotiation, needs-based psychology, aspects of game theory, and various personality identifier systems/types (enneagram, Myers-Briggs, DISC, OCEAN, etc). I love sharing these skills and knowledge as they translate extremely well in managing people more successfully, becoming more effective in business development, creating an amazing company culture, working well with others, negotiation, personal relationships, and life in general!

These concepts can also be applied to enhancing user and hospitality experiences, events, and physical environments.

Writing Effective Creative Briefs and Working With Creatives

Good briefs are critical in getting the deliverable you want and start well before writing the actual document. I have 15+ years of experience translating between businesses and creatives. I've acted as both creative director and executor across areas of product design, UI/UX, information architecture, graphic design, branding, marketing, photography, physical space design, event production and mobile product development.

I will guide you through the process of defining what you want, writing, explaining, and 'speccing' what you want in clear and actionable terms your designer or creative can use and understand. Setting expectations. Communicating and managing the project. Giving productive and useable feedback for revisions if necessary, and fostering great relationships with your creatives resulting in better, faster, more accurate project turnarounds in the future.

Hospitality & Environment Design for Next Level Event or Office Experiences

Planning an epic conference? Hospitality venture? Your new office HQ? I'll help you create defining moments and spaces that evoke community, conversation, & lasting connection. I've had the opportunity to gain experience on all sides of the table. I work directly with managers, chefs, DJs, musical artists, speakers, activity leaders, bartenders, hosts, back of house staff to inform the initial design. Then I've had the privilege to experience the spaces as they mature over many events and seasons, directly alongside the guests, learning and making tweaks along the way. I've worked alongside and designed experiences for people such as Richard Branson, Indra Nooyi, Peter Diamandis, Larry Harvey, Tim Ferris, Imogen Heap, The Roots, Kendrick Lamar, Nero, Paul Oakenfold, The Wailers and thousands more.
