Experiential Leader

With over 13 years of experiential marketing and event production expertise, I specialize in creating transformative experiences that bridge creativity with possibility. My passion for immersive storytelling to drive social and environmental change is at the heart of my work, exemplified by my notable contributions at GreenBiz's VERGE and Google's Cloud Space. As a leader, I blend my unique background from the underground art world with corporate insights from roles at Google and Apple, fostering inclusive and engaging narratives. My approach is characterized by an innovative fusion of secular spiritualism and experiential learning, ensuring each project captivates and inspires pro-social behaviors and reconnection with nature. Poised to take on roles like Head of Experiential, I am committed to designing impactful experiences that leave lasting imprints on audiences and the planet.
