Work With Manifold
I was hired by Manifold in August of 2022, shortly after graduating from Portland State University. Manifold is an award winning experiential creative agency, that works with some of the most recognizable brands in the world, from Tech and Crypto, to Healthcare and Logistics. My role while working with Manifold started as a Creative Service Manager, I was promoted to Creative Project Manager and I have also filled in as Art Director while onsite, and supported our Producers through out my time as well.
During my time with Manifold I worked on events for Ripple Labs, UCLA, and Amazon.
Ripple Labs
Miami 10, was a celebration for the 10 year anniversary of Ripple Labs. A multi-day event, that included the above kick off party, a keynote by the CEO, and breakfast each day to fuel attendees. Most of the work I focused on was the kick off party, where we displayed a live NFT gallery by featured artist. Hand crafted domino tables with Cuban motifs and Ripple branding. The stage hosted local live music, and a performance by professional dancers. Off the dance floor attendees could take a shot at claw machines branded with Ripple livery and filled with thrifted, vintage, Miami swag. To fit the Cuban theme of the event there was also a cigar roller, hand rolling authentic cigars on site.
I also worked on Ripple’s internal San Francisco office, end of the year, holiday party. This event was Apres Ski themed, including a gondola photo opportunity, branded “lift tickets” for entry, a hot coco bar, live piano, and many more unique details.
UCLA First Thursdays
First Thursdays, is an ongoing project with UCLA and the Westwood neighborhood collaborating to bring student and community together and revitalize the area post pandemic. The project consists of monthly events hosted in a converted parking lot that spills out on to Broxton street. These are full fledged events that we turned out on a monthly basis, sometimes working on up to 4 months all at the same time. Themes for these block-parties included; Joyfest a mini music festival with full stage production hosting current and alumni artist, as well as local musical acts, Game On a celebration of sports (both E and traditional) as well as all forms of athletics and activities, Arts Avenue similar to Joyfest but for visual arts, Spooktober and obligatory Halloween themed dance party.
Every event featured bespoke on theme photo booths, crafting activities, music, lighting, interactive activations, food trucks, giveaways, raffles, and special guests.
