Mood: Dramatic entrances and unapologetic statements. Because we don’t do subtle.

Guests were guided through the back stairwell where a flood of black velvet pooled at their feet and led them on a journey…
 Up the stairs. Through the mezzanine. Down the corridor. And finally, into a historic ballroom reimagined as a fashion runway.

500 yards of uncut black fabric. Minimalist black x-back chameleon chairs. Gold chandeliers suspended in silence. And at the very end -  a chuppah born from the same velvet that led them there.

Subtle? Never heard of her.

Before and After 💫

For the NextVR CES launch, we transformed a standard meeting space at @cosmopolitan_lv into an exclusive VIP lounge steeped in masculine luxury and sleek mid-century style. Vintage sports culture met modern sophistication with curated retro athletic gear woven into the design - creating a refined, immersive experience with a playful edge.

From rendering to reality, this celebration proved that when pink leads the palette, the transformation is unforgettable. From soft blush to bold fuchsia, every shade told a story - bold, joyful, and unapologetically her. 💞

Runway design doesn’t apologize. It doesn’t fade into the background. It owns the room.

That’s exactly the kind of presence we want from our event spaces … intentional builds, sculptural moments and the kind of lighting that makes everything (and everyone) look cinematic.

Fashion leads the show, but the runway sets the stage. And we’re taking notes. 📝

Which one is your fave?? Tell us below!

What started as a chic all-white party at Husky Stadium quickly turned electric when we broke out the wigs and cranked up the neon.

Not quite Neon Carnival… but close enough to make grandma grab a glow stick.

Welcome to the afterlife - where sin tastes like spun sugar and salvation comes with a side of fire. Heavenly angels descended on cotton candy clouds to serve dessert (yes, really), while dark angels offered smoldering cocktails with a wink. And at dinner? Towering creatures from middle earth wove through the feasting tables, feeding guests strings of grapes like decadent deities.

Who knew eternal damnation could be this much fun?

We cranked the nostalgia to eleven for this unforgettable 50th - blasting back to the neon-lit childhood of the ‘80s and the raw, grunge-soaked edge of the ‘90s. Walkmans. VHS tapes. Sunset Strip swagger. And a whole lot of rock ‘n’ roll rebellion. 🎸📼🕹️

From a wall of busts featuring the guest of honor through the decades (yes, including 3D glasses and full hair band glam) to an old-school arcade tucked into an outdoor alcove… every detail was a nod to the eras that shaped him.

The bar glowed with vintage TVs, wrapped in a facade of stacked VHS tapes - favorites from his youth (and a few starring roles). The stage was pure Sunset Strip, backed by towering speakers and surrounded by leather-wrapped banquettes on a matte black floor.

A few guests questioned the legality of the decor. Just coasters, folks… probably. 😏

It was gritty. It was glam. It was one excellent adventure.🤘🏼

Go green or go home - because eco-chic is the new black. 🌿🍃🌱

Sustainable materials, green touches, and biophilic elements are taking center stage. It’s not just about beauty - it’s about creating spaces that nourish both the soul and the environment.

From rendering to reality - we took this B’nai Mitzvah from digital design files to a full-blown sensory experience at Terranea. Inspired by two brilliant twins and their love of classical music and literature, we built a world where string quartets met storybook charm, and every detail hit a high note. This wasn’t your average Mitzvah - it was thoughtful, layered, and unapologetically extra (just how we like it).

From “I Have a Vision” to “Holy Shit, We Did That” …

Ah, the inspo phase - where clients send us a collected mix of photos, sometimes seemingly random (per our request… and no photos of other events!). Think: a moody art installation, a couture gown, a Wes Anderson film still, maybe a close-up of a really nice salad.

We’ll take it all! Our job? To decode the random, find the throughline, and translate your vibe into a fully immersive, meticulously executed experience - one that doesn’t feel like a copy-paste of someone else’s wedding but instead is something uniquely you. Because pulling images from another event is easy. Creating something that’s never been done before? That’s where the magic happens.

Take a look at how we made sense of our client’s inspo pics and turned them into reality.

When visiting Philadelphia earlier this month, I got to take a special tour of @longwoodgardens, and this place isn’t just a garden … it’s a botanical flex.

From the lush conservatory bursting with color to the incredible Italian Water Garden, every space is a study in balance, beauty, and meticulous curation - reminding us that great design isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about how a space makes you feel. Inspired and transported.

If you haven't been, go. If you have, go again. 🌸🍃🌿🌵🌺

If you’re not designing for the people lying on the floor at the end of the night, are you even designing at all? 💫

No sand in your shoes, just ocean-inspired details that brought the beauty of the sea to shore at this @fairmontmiramar corporate event. From vibrant turquoise and bright whites, every element captured the essence of the ocean. 🌊🐚
