I specialize in creating experiences that not only bring people together but also inspire a profound sense of camaraderie. My work is centered around crafting engagements that deeply resonate, ensuring both my team and our clients are excited about the results.

Events concepts for Mini

Role: Creative Director

🚗 Remember The Italian Job (1969) with Michael Caine? Still the best in my book!
Mini’s just launched their new Electric Mini, and it got me thinking—what if their launch paid homage to that iconic sewage scene? Imagine this: massive concrete tubes, neon lights illuminating the interiors, and sleek Electric Minis placed inside. Add a touch of drama with water pouring out of the tubes—it’s bold, nostalgic, and electrifying, just like Mini itself.

A perfect blend of heritage and innovation. What do you think—would this turn heads?

Client: ServiceNow

Agency: George P. Johnson: Experience Marketing Agency

Role: Creative Director

I joined forces with the Executive Creative Director at George P Johnson, facing initial challenges despite having a generous 5-month lead time for the event. The prior year had been tough, and the entire team had left except for the ECD. To complicating matters, we discovered that the client was in the midst of a rebrand, and their internal team couldn't meet with us for two months.

Through daily calls involving over 50 individuals and with an exceptional team supporting me, we managed to overcome these hurdles. The result was an experience that seamlessly integrated all products, offering clear navigation throughout. With approximately 20,000 attendees and 200 partners converging at the vibrant Venetian & Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, we orchestrated an awe-inspiring event that brought their customers together in an unforgettable celebration of innovation and collaboration.

Situated in the Wynwood Walls, an outdoor museum showcasing eminent graffiti and wall artists, our five-day event drew an astounding 81,000 visitors. What set this project apart was its harmonious blend of extremes—marrying the worlds of art and technology.

Employing projection technology onto a graffiti wall crafted by a local maestro, the artwork took on a life of its own. The mesmerizing effects created a viral sensation on the internet, captivating social media audiences and drawing more people to witness the masterpiece. Spectators, awestruck by the synergy of technology and art, were not only connected but also shown a broader, more profound perspective.
