Hi! I’m Melissa and events are my passion.

As an event industry veteran of 15+ years I have a passion for creating engaging and memorable experiences to bring your brand to life. I will bring a creative vision, extreme drive and unparalleled attention to detail to every event I produce, whether global in scale, or an intimate meeting, no event is too big or small for my expertise.

My background in graphic design and photography bring a creative vision that sets me apart from most producers. Creating a complete event is my goal, from ideation, to budget management all the way through detailed execution, there is no task that I can’t take on.

I’ve been through many unique experiences throughout my career with global heads of states and A-list celebrities which prepare me for any situation. With quick thinking, a broad range of experience and a passion for perfection, I treat every event I produce with the world-class execution you want behind-the-scenes.

When I’m not producing events, you’ll find me exploring the globe with my three amazing kids and husband. Or you can catch me over on Lincoln Ave in Chicago enjoying some hoppy Hop Butcher brews, if you’re in the area, be sure to swing by and say ‘hi’

Let’s Work Together.
