Portfolio
My portfolio:
Global Pride 2020
Creating social media content and live moderating for a streaming 26 hour event, the first of its kind, Global Pride 2020, brought the world together during lock down of COVID in March. Working with Billboard top artists, LGBTQ+ Prides from over 90 countries and content in 31 different languages.
Curated Pop Up Shop
Working with over 300 British Columbia makers to manage a pop up shop in the largest mall on Vancouver Island. Focused on sharing the love of supporting local. Having an vast understanding on wholesale, marketing and merchandising to curate an incredible storefront and online presence.
Recently over the 2019 holiday season I ran a pop up for six weeks, over 6000 sq ft retail space, with 19 employees, and over $300,000 in sales.
The Craft Room - Retail Business
Thriving sublimation printing business, focusing on dishwasher and microwave safe mugs. The Craft Room in 2020 has doubled its wholesale accounts and on target to quadruple by December as well as selling direct to customer. Working with local stores and national franchises to supply sassy and uniquely designed mugs.
With COVID-19 affecting all scheduled in person craft markets for the foreseeable future, developing strong relationships with store orders/buyers was a must.
I've had the pleasure of working with artists to expand their product offerings by wholesaling my mugs with their art and supporting them throughout the design process.
Vancouver Island Market - Vancouver Island largest craft market series
Co Founded in 2017, a series of three large markets, in 65,000+ square feet within a local mall provided a blank canvas for over 35,000 attendees over 3 days to shop. Over 150 local makers booths, providing a full day outing for families, food + crafts + music + classes + local wineries/brewers. With a reasonable shopper entrance fee, and offering a range of support to makers to provide one of the best events many makers and shoppers have EVER been too.
