Executive Producer | Event Marketing

The Midday Soirée- Part I was a 3-year-long, for-profit philanthropic event series designed to celebrate culture, creativity, and community. This high-end experience showcases the work of Black and Brown artists while funding youth-led art programs and content creation events for teens. With luxe aesthetics, intentional networking, and immersive design, The Midday Soirée is more than just an event—it’s a space where purpose meets elegance, and impact is made in style.

“Still dreaming about how incredible this event was! The People, venue, music, food, team, vendors, philanthropy, and of course, everyone’s attire. Truly looking forward to the next Soiree.”

— Hazel B.

Decor | Theme Enhancement

Runway 40 was a fully immersive, travel-themed fashion show designed for internationally renowned designer Ugochi Iwuaba. The experience featured towering high-rise centerpieces, 3D-printed custom décor, and a fully customized airport-style jumbotron. Branded wood-scaped logos, a custom-built front desk, and replica airport counters transformed the venue into a first-class terminal, delivering total theme enhancement worthy of a global runway.

“You did a phenomenal job!
It was all worth it ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
