Community events and brand activations

Director of the Zombie Bike Parade Festival

I direct it and I build its brand, marketing and media for everyone involved. Eight festivals, a regionally known brand with more than one million impressions, nearly 2,500 people through two parks in 2026, and it has helped raise more than $60,000 for charity.

Produced sold-out events

A sold-out comedy night at the Davis Odd Fellows Hall with Brent Pella, the Davis local from MTV and Wild 'N Out, partly raising money for NorCal Trykers (I even got to emcee for my favorite comedian). And Davis' annual Zombie Ball: an 18 and up costume ball at the Odd Fellows Lodge with local DJs, a red carpet costume showcase with professional photos and part of the proceeds going to Thriving Pink, sold out two years in a row.

An internationally significant project

Coordinated the creation of the APAPA Jupiter Train float and led the parade unit in the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade three times, performing before hundreds of thousands of spectators and reaching 3+ million viewers worldwide on ABC, Hulu, Disney+ and international networks.

Co-produced events across the region

A citywide art project (100+ artists, 100,000+ viewers), an Asian Heritage Month celebration with corporate sponsors like Coca-Cola and Southwest Airlines and celebrity guests, plus car shows, concerts, sidewalk sales, brew crawls, treat trails, burger battles, health fairs, luncheons and business socials.

Creative ventures

Co-creator of Coffee Time

Davis' beloved board game: 1,000 copies distributed, featured on most local outlets and TV, and archived at UC Davis. A video game version is in production in Unreal Engine.

Founder, DV Game Design

Video game design for students in Unreal Engine, grown out of the DaVinci Game Design Club I founded. Now accepting students.

Recognitions

Best graphic design in Yolo County

Voted #1. Twice voted a top volunteer in Yolo County, Chamber Ambassador of the Year, a Congressional Commendation for promoting public relations and goodwill in Davis, and multiple awards as a community leader for the Zombie Bike Parade Festival.

Marketing, advocacy and media reach

Unforgettable stunts

Skydivers trailing 20-foot branded flags, hot air balloon marketing and bold brand activations.

Storytelling that lands

I help brands and organizations connect with their audiences through strategy and high-impact campaigns, and represent organizations on TV, radio and regional news to amplify voices and causes.

Civic logistics

Lead organizer for events with state leaders, mayors, judges, public safety officials, celebrities and news anchors. Lead logistics for state lobbying events, receptions and trips to D.C.

Community leadership and initiatives

The Welcome to Davis sign

It took two years and three committees: the first two stalled, and the third brought twelve community groups together, including the City of Davis, the Downtown Business Association and the Chamber of Commerce, to restore the sign.

The Davis Streets Team

I brought the City, the DDBA, police, homeless services and advocates together and pointed American Rescue Plan funds at it. It tackled cleanliness, safety and helping the unhoused community. The program has since ended.

Open Air Davis, Healthy Davis Together, Downtown Stimulus

Branding and communications lead for Open Air Davis and its 40+ outdoor dining popups. I also helped on Healthy Davis Together ($1M+ into Davis businesses) and the Downtown Stimulus ($200K+).

I stay ahead of design trends, creative tools and production techniques so that your brand stands out across every medium. My next goal? To make your project the biggest, boldest, most talked-about venture yet. Let us launch it together.
