JUNE 2025
strategic events with local soul
LOCAL ROOTS. NATIONAL REACH
Columbus, Ohio is having a moment.
Named a 2025 Top Meeting Destination by Cvent and a Top Ten Best Big City by Condé Nast Traveler, it’s no longer a flyover, it’s a featured act.
As a native and certified Experience Columbus Insider, I help brands and planners bring their events to life here in ways that feel rooted and real. Whether it’s artist-driven gifting, immersive storytelling, or vendor connections that deliver, I help events feel like they belong here.
And when you're planning somewhere else? I bring that same principle of place and polish, no matter the market.
how I work
Creative Connections Studio isn’t a DMC or traditional event agency. It’s a strategic partner for brands that want their events to do more than just check a box. Flexible scope; transparent pricing. Your advocate. Always.
I will help you:
Design elevated retreats that realign the mission, reconnect to your purpose, and inspire your people
Curate artist-driven gifting experiences that help tell an important story
Plan one-of-a-kind galas, installations, or brand moments with emotional impact
Collaborate on culture-rich experiences that move people and business forward
I’ve led national conferences and multi-day events for homebuilders and industry partners. That experience shaped my precision, and now I bring that same strategic clarity to your events and experiences built for connection.
CORPORATE BACKBONE. CREATIVE SOUL
With a background in law, franchising, and business ops, I bring structure, accountability, and a strategic lens. But I’m also an artist at heart, obsessed with moments that connect people and leave a mark.
Whether you're planning an executive retreat, a purpose-driven gala, or a brand moment that deserves to be unforgettable, I’m here to bring strategy, soul, and cultural depth to the table.
When you’re ready to raise the bar, let’s connect.
I’ve planned national conferences with hefty budgets and thousands of moving parts, but what lights me up in this season of growth is something a bit different. The moments that matter most often aren’t found in massive ballrooms or multi-day agendas. They’re in the curated dinner with founders, the brand collab that sparks emotion, or the retreat that reconnects a team to its purpose.
I am building Creative Connections Studio to help brands and planners elevate their experiences to achieve more.
I help forward-looking brands design high-impact events that connect, convert, and leave a mark. No fluff. No filler. Just intentional experiences with strategic depth and cultural soul.
YOUR STRATEGIC PARTNER
I’ve sat on both sides of the table, as client and planner, strategist and operations lead. I know what makes vendors tick, where hidden costs live, and how a little structure on the front end protects valuable relationships on the back.
My corporate conferences have earned +73 and higher NPS scores, strengthened sponsor partnerships, and created calm in the chaos. Now I bring that same clarity and creative strategy to help teams build experiences worth remembering.
