Pain Point

I.W. Harper needed an immersive event that positioned the brand as a lifestyle choice aligned with travel, fashion, and culture—boosting engagement, visibility, and brand affinity among a premium audience.

Process

As Art Director for a six-person team, I led the creative vision from concept to execution, including spatial design, experiential activations, visual storytelling, and pitch deck development. I ensured cohesive, on-brand experiences within venue, budget, and time constraints while managing on-site execution and cross-team coordination.

Outcome

The event delivered a 40% increase in attendee satisfaction and a 30% boost in engagement metrics. Thoughtfully integrated activations and immersive storytelling elevated I.W. Harper’s visibility, strengthened brand affinity, and created shareable, culturally relevant moments.
