As an event marketer I effectively developed impressive experiential activations that connect with the audience on an emotional level. Anything from a music festival for Denverites to excite and entertain, to a corporate branding experience that brings the community together.
I am experienced in developing marketing deliverables that elevate brand awareness, focusing on brands and the community. As a senior graphic designer, I’ve designed advertisements, event collateral and print materials from concept through completion.
As a marketer, I truly understand what it takes to organize and develop real life experiences and I have the drive that will deliver on-time and on-budget results. I bring creativity that pushes activations into uncharted territories, creating unique and memorable live experiences that have never been done.

Below is a comprehensive breakdown of some events that I have been responsible for, including photography!
Schomp Grand Opening
Throughout its 79-year history, Schomp Automotive has taken a family- and community-first approach to philanthropy. Fighting childhood cancer, helping veterans, and finding “forever” homes for four-legged friends are just a few of the many efforts they take to foster a positive impact beyond their brick and mortar.
2016 marked an important milestone for Schomp Automotive, they had been serving the Denver community for 75 years. Along with that milestone, the company opened their new Honda and MINI facilities on May 23rd on Plum Valley Lane in Highlands Ranch. To celebrate they invited corporate executives, leaders in the industry, government officials and the community out to see the new dealerships. Guests enjoyed live entertainment, catering by Ivy at the Glenn and open bars through the evening.

Underground Music Showcase
The Underground Music Showcase is Denver’s premier indie festival, now in its 15th year. The UMS is known not only for its focus on local talent and the local community (its a non-profit event and benefits the Denver Post Community Foundation) but also for the diversity and crazy high energy of the performances you can see throughout its tenure. UMS showcases over 400 local and national act performances, across 4 days, in nearly 20 venues. Schomp MINI sponsored seasons 2013-2016 and was responsible for a VIP experience to view main stage offering refreshments and fun through out the night!
