Career highlights
In March of 2016 one of my clients flew myself, and a giant suitcase of supplies, into Las Vegas to mitigate an issue with their opulent Gatsby style event at Caesar's Palace. Their client at the Omnia Nightclub rejected multiple samples of the requested showpieces and were unable to find a vendor in the area who could meet their client's standard. When I saw the sample images I knew immediately why they were not fulfilling the brief and went into action on behalf of my client. I had observed there was an issue with the quality of the materials as well as how they were being handled, so I quickly sourced new materials and led an onsite team through the correct production of the showpieces. The MAS Events Team and I worked straight through to showtime and not only was their client delighted with the showpieces, we also had a great time overcoming the challenges toward what became a highly successful event!
When my client needed a reliable vendor with loads of discretion who could deliver on a very specific custom design brief tailored to the style of Larry Page's Yacht, "Senses", I was honored to be called upon. I will never forget removing my shoes and quietly padding barefoot around the 193 foot vessel just after dawn, arranging commissioned driftwood, hellebore and air plant tablescapes for the America's Cup afterparty. My staff still talk about the warm greeting from Larry as he passed them on his way to breakfast!
