event architect + lifestyle expert + lover of style and beauty + survivor + author
With over 20 years of experience and a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation, I am a premier meeting and event architect known for transforming visions into unforgettable experiences. Fueled by an unrelenting passion for style, organization, and design, I bring a meticulous eye for detail and an instinct for flawless execution to every event. Planning isn't just what I do — it’s what I was born to do. I founded my company as a bold expression of that passion, creating spaces where creativity meets precision and every moment is masterfully curated. From high-powered meetings to dazzling celebrations, I make sure every detail speaks volumes. Life is too short for ordinary events — and I don’t do ordinary.
