☮️🌼 GROOVY TIMES AHEAD 🌼☮️

Last week, Summerfest's Big Gig Dress Rehearsal transformed Potawatomi Hotel & Casino into a vibrant celebration of peace, love, and music with this year's theme, Summer of Love.

From the larger-than-life stage and colorful lounges to a vintage VW bus, custom installations, and the playful Summer of Love Optical Co., every detail was designed to bring smiles, spark memories, and remind us why Summerfest remains Milwaukee's most beloved tradition.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible team at Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. and everyone who helped bring this joyful vision to life.☀️🎶❤️

One of my favorite parts of designing incentive travel experiences is finding unexpected ways to bring people together.

For this movie night at Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, México, we transformed the lawn into an open-air cinema experience under the stars, complete with colorful cocktails, made-to-order food stations, movie snacks, oversized lounge seating, and Disney's Encanto playing against the jungle backdrop.

What made the evening especially meaningful was how naturally the message of the film connected to the purpose of the trip: celebrating individuality, connection, family, and the unique role each person plays within a larger community.

Experiences like this go beyond entertainment. They create shared memories, strengthen team spirit, and reinforce culture in a way that feels authentic, joyful, and lasting.

Proud to have designed and produced this evening for an incredible group in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable.

When design, mission, and trust align, this is what happens. The Special Spaces Wisconsin Dream Big Gala has become one of those rare events that people don’t just attend — they anticipate. It has become one of the most sought-after nonprofit events in the city.

It sells out without invitations.
It bridges generations of philanthropists.
It balances emotional storytelling with high-level experience design.
It proves that fundraising can be both emotionally powerful and experientially extraordinary.

Its success is built on:

• Complete trust between leadership and producer
• Experiences crafted around the mission
• Vendor partners committed to excellence
• A reputation that people want to be part of

I'm grateful to collaborate with an organization that understands that fundraising isn’t just about throwing a party; it’s about building belief for lasting impact. 🩷

✨90 years. One unforgettable night.✨
The Badger Liquor 90th Anniversary Celebration at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino was nothing short of spectacular. The entertainment was pure spectacle and every moment shimmered with energy, glamour, and a sense of celebration worthy of nine decades of legacy. Cheers to history, hospitality, and constantly raising the bar!
