EVENTS-
CO-OP CABARET ON MAIN
In 2018, I founded The Co-Op Cabaret to satisfy my personal desire to perform again. My work at O introduced me to a diverse group of performers, including singers, acrobats, and guitarists who also happened to be fire spinners. Recognizing the need for a welcoming and supportive platform for their talents, I created a monthly "open-mic" style event.
As the event grew in popularity, necessitating a larger venue, I transitioned to pre-programming. I accepted online submissions, curated a Run of Show, and hosted the event monthly.
The Co-Op Cabaret garnered media attention, as evidenced by its feature in Las Vegas Weekly:

GRAPHICS- CO-OP CABARET ON MAIN
I drew inspiration from vintage poster references such as Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix, and others. Every month, I challenged myself to create a new graphic design.
EVENTS- Mystére’s 30th Anniversary Celebration
To snail or not to snail? That was the question that plagued me! But in the end, Alice - Mystére’s beloved snail - graced the grand celebration with her presence.
The theme of the party was "Pearl Anniversary", and with great care, I crafted an atmosphere of magnificence and peculiarity, all while paying homage to pearls. We summoned the talents of "Pearl Divers", who swam with grace to retrieve a precious pearl resting at the pool's base. There was also a Black Pearl lounge, illuminated by the eerie glow of black light, where guests could sip on Spermatinis. A "Pearls of Wisdom" exhibit showcased a collection of antique wardrobes, harkening back to the fashion of three decades past. It was a night of whimsy and wonder, where elegance mingled with the unusual.

PANDEMIC PROJECTS
Amidst the uncertain future, I leveraged my sewing skills by launching an Etsy shop that featured intricately crafted face masks. My hard work culminated in over 2,000 sales within the first year.
As the world remained unstable, I decided to venture into the real estate industry. Collaborating with a skilled artist, I developed an ad that epitomized the promise of new beginnings. Through a self-composed jingle, I extended an invitation to those seeking comfort and security in their homes to join me on this exciting journey.
I conceptualized the logos and a graphic designer was hired to create the final artwork.
PANDEMIC PROJECTS
The majority of my days were spent sewing an estimated 10-20 masks daily. It was a labor-intensive undertaking that demanded a significant amount of time and effort. To support my project, I documented each mask's style, maintained an inventory, and utilized social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook for marketing.
The following ad is a product of my real estate business. I was responsible for composing and performing the jingle, as well as creating storyboards for the video and graphics designer.
