About Me

I'm a creative producer and event manager in Nashville. I design event concepts, build the proposals that sell them, and produce them with the right local partners. Years of field marketing, brand development and interior design are the backbone, and I've spent my career in sales, so I know how to pitch, price and close.

Role fit

What I Can Do

The core responsibilities of a creative proposal role at an experience or destination company, and the work that proves each one.

Strategic, creative proposals & sales collateral

Built the Poker Power event proposal and the Design Week closing party deck. Create branded investment presentations for every Closet Factory client.

Concept development & visual storytellingPinterest, design tools, imagery

Planning Design Week's closing event around its "Home Grown" theme: six guest zones, activations and gift bags. Built moodboards, mockups and concept renders for events, brands and interiors.

Destination & dine-around guides

I know Nashville's restaurants, private dining rooms, bars and venues as a regular, and I know what's new and what groups will love.

Scopes of work, pricing sheets & margin

Price custom projects daily with upgrades and discounts while protecting commission. Built a $45K event budget that splits in-kind value from cash and projects a $4K surplus.

Vendor sourcing, negotiation & partnerships

Planned 34% of Design Week's event value through in-kind partners, including a donated venue, and designed four sponsor tiers. Building trade partnerships with designers and builders.

Vendor records, dashboards & CRM

Experienced in Salesforce and HubSpot; optimized a CRM to improve lead conversion. Run client projects through HoneyBook and keep supplier and project records current.

Site visits, logistics & site operations

Venue sourcing, permitting, load-in and load-out, run of show and day-of management from years leading field marketing teams.

Tradeshows & industry events

Event Manager for Nashville Design Week and an ASID member. Junior producer on the Sports Illustrated show at Miami Swim Week, for Teen Vogue and Condé Nast, and for Be the People in Austin.

Partnering with sales & events teams

A career in sales means I build proposals that are easy to sell. I've worked across creative, sales and production teams as a team lead and producer.

3–5 concurrent proposals on tight deadlines

Balance active Closet Factory clients, the Design Week event and my own studio's client work at the same time.

What I bring to an experience team

Local Know-How

I'm a regular at the venues, hotels and restaurants groups want to visit, and I know their managers as a guest and a partner. That turns into three things a proposal team needs.

Speed

Faster quotes and availability, so proposals go out sooner and hold dates first.

Margin

More room to negotiate minimums and packages, which protects gross profit.

Exclusivity

Spaces and experiences other teams can't offer, the detail clients remember.
