Most creative ventures are a house of cards.
I build the infrastructure behind creative culture. You bring the vision... I build the system underneath it, so pulling one card doesn't bring the whole thing down.
Every card is load bearing. Tap one.
Who I work with
Creative founders, event collectives, community ventures, and independent media... a lot of them Black and queer creatives building for their own people. Plus the teams and institutions that want culture done right.
House of cardsThe vision lives in your head, your DMs, and a Notes app.
A house that standsIt lives in a system anyone on your team can run.
House of cardsEvery event gets rebuilt from scratch.
A house that standsEvery event runs off a template and gets better each time.

Work with me
Three ways in, one suit each. Every one's an ace, and the same philosophy sits behind all three... take the vision seriously, then build the thing that makes it last.
Systems
Creative vision, operating system included.
For you if
Your venture, event series, or team runs on heroics, and you're tired of rebuilding the same thing every time.
What you get
Talent
We pitch you. You don't pitch them.
For creatives
You've got the skill and zero appetite for self promotion. I position your work and put it in front of buyers who pay.
For buyers
Schools, brands, and teams looking for vetted creatives. Tell me the job and I'll bring you the right person.
The rules
Experiences
Rooms people are still talking about on Monday.
For you if
You're a brand or partner who wants a room that feels intentional, from the first invite to the last song.
What you get
In the works
Jazzy Christmas in NYC, and Jazzy Band Camp, an adult music camp coming summer 2027.
How it's built
I came up booking guests for TV, where nothing goes live without a run of show. Same here. Four squares, start to finish, and you always know where your piece is on the board.
Square 01 · The intro call
Thirty minutes. You tell me the vision, and I listen for the system hiding inside it.
I map the baseline format, every asset it needs, and one point person for each piece.
Templates, boards, workflows, and timelines, stacked in the tools you already use.
The house stands without me holding it up. That's the whole point.
Credits
The medium keeps changing. The move stays the same. The suits show which card each one backs up.
Homecoming experiences for Black students and alumni at PWIs. Our Clemson Homecoming Weekend runs October 23 to 25, 2026... five events, from The Check-In to Sunday Service, built on a CBAC partnership, one board per event, and a live landing page.
cuhomecoming.net ↗A brand and event collective I cocreated with DJ Grey, centering Black aesthetics. I built the four pillar content system and the brand language, and I run the logistics behind the rooms, from a jazz listening session to a Digital Spring Cleaning workshop.
An established Atlanta print magazine. I'm building its digital hub and making its fashion shows and cover reveals repeatable.
inthecitymagazine.com ↗A variety show stitched from work I love... short films, live vinyl sessions, podcast cuts, and spots for Black owned brands. It debuts on Brooklyn public access, then rolls out to college and local radio.
@jdkearsebroadcast ↗A Brooklyn art forward social club where every event is free at the door. We're teaming up on Jazzy Christmas, a 1920s dress up jazz night that turns into a speakeasy after hours.
Campaign infrastructure for a tech company: content syndication, direct mail, and competitor conquest campaigns, with the documentation that keeps them running.
Where it started. Booking guests taught me how much has to go right before anyone sees a thing.
About
I started out booking guests for TV. That job taught me the magic on screen only happens because somebody built the machine behind it. I've been building that machine ever since... for marketing teams, event collectives, a magazine, and artists who hate pitching themselves.
Most creatives I meet have a beautiful house of cards. One late vendor, one burnt out founder, and it's on the floor. So I build the structure with them. The night becomes a series, the idea becomes a business, and nobody carries it alone.
