HOW IT ALL STARTED...
It all started in 2013 after attending an electronic music event in San Diego, CA. It was a scene like no other, and memories far beyond imaginable. These events captivated me so much that I wanted to become involved in the music and entertainment industry in any possible way. In January of 2014, I was given the opportunity to create event flyers for a local San Diego event production company called Audio Culture Events. Later that year, I would create the program booklets for some of Silk Road Productions' events such as D6 Night Market, Asian Cultural Festival. Never would I have imagined that this was only just the beginning of her career as an industry professional.
After graduating with my bachelor's in 2017, I had been invited to be a guest writer for Festival Squad, allowing me to grow and flourish with the company. By early 2018 I had joined the team full time, and since then I had attended Splash House, LOVELOUD, HARD Day of the Dead, BUKU Music + Art Project and more as official media. With the company I was able to grow as a photographer, being granted photo access for KAABOO San Diego, Second Sky Music Festival, Porter Robinson's VIRTUAL SELF show at the NOS Events Center and more.
​
In 2018 I also joined Good Time Design, LLC. as a Jr. Graphic Designer, and was promoted within a year involved in the company. Through this opportunity I was able to hone my skills designing for diversely branded restaurant venues such as The Blind Burro in Downtown San Diego, and Go Go Amigo at Point Loma Liberty Station. I had also gained exposure to the country music industry through several small and large-scale projects for San Diego's Moonshine Flats and Moonshine Beach.
Currently I am the Marketing and Creative Designer for local San Diego gem Ice Box, the city's first and only self-serve bubble tea restaurant; as well as the Marketing Specialist for Bassrush at Insomniac Events, who produces some of the most innovative, immersive music festivals and events in the world.
