I LOVE EXPERIENCES

The big ones. The small ones. Most of all - the MEMORABLE ones.

Generally speaking, we tend to remember the best and the worst in all spheres of life. Meals, haircuts, airlines - events. My job is to ensure your event is in the 'best' category.

As someone who has systems for my systems, I firmly believe proper planning can go a long way in ensuring the success of your event. But you can't plan for what you don't know. My experience with a wide range of events in different countries, industries and settings help me predict the challenges that may arise at an event and plan for them.

So what can I help you with?

Project management

Logistics

Event communication (strategy + execution)

Guest & sponsor relations

I'm currently studying an MA in Experience Economy on the side so if you need a bit of academic input for your events, I'm happy to share that too!

My philosophy

I am a fan of events based on Daniel Kahneman's peak-end theory and am known for running a tight ship when in charge of a project. Think target hierarchies, measurable KPIs and gantt charts.

Systems aside I firmly believe in the power of being a good host, whether in your own home or as a brand. Make people feel welcome, special and at home in your home - literally or figuratively - and they will remember you. Events are people meeting people and it's the most powerful tool there is. I love the challenge of getting it right.

I can talk for hours about this and would love to convince you events would be right for you by putting it into your context over a coffee.

Call me maybe?
