WORK
Creative Direction • Events • Content • Facilitation
Growing up a textiles artist I learned how to weave and create my own patterns on looms and canvases.
Now I weave stories, communities, and events.
Past work:
Sarah Bahbah’s DC Book Tour
With work spanning more than ten years, Dear Love is a collection of photographs that details the artistic and emotional world of Palestinian/Jordanian artist Sarah Bahbah.
Following an Instagram DM, I fully produced an event for Sarah with a $1k budget in 10 days. We brought together photographers, creatives, and women from all over the DMV to meet Sarah and share their stories around relationships, love, and heartbreak.
Summit Junto • Summit Series
Working with Summit Junto (a membership community for entrepreneurs, artist, doers, and dreamers) I supported, produced, or hosted a variety of events ranging from panels, to dinners, to workshops both in person and digitally. I developed community strategy from scratch - implementing a Slack community and local programming.
I also served as an executive coach & facilitator running intimate forums of 5-8 executives and entrepreneurs.
Watercolor Series with Marcella Kriebel feat. Dr. Fauci & Dr. Christine
Produced a Watercolor Workshop series with local DC muralist, artist, and author Marcella Kriebel. Hosted an intimate class with Dr. Anthony Fauci & his wife Dr. Christine Grady.
Vintage & Wellness Market
Developed, produced, and kicked off Yours Truly Hotel’s flagship event. Worked with 17+ local vendors (tarot readers, artists, homeware, clothing, and more). Featuring queer DJ Fish House Funk and Burning Man Artist The Disco Witch.
DC Pride Kick Off
Hosted a Pride kick off at Yours Truly Hotel featuring Citrine the Queen and partnering with local queer-owned distillery Republic Restoratives for a special pride cocktail benefitting the National Center for Trans Equality.
