Business Development

Building Bold Ideas into Sustainable Brands

I’m the founder and creative director of Tupelo Social Club, an Italian-inspired event space I built from the ground up inside a brewery—literally transforming a raw garage into a refined, community-focused venue that’s brought in over $150K in its first year.

With a background in photography, branding, and creative direction, I’ve always been drawn to beautiful spaces and meaningful experiences. Tupelo is a blend of both—equal parts elegance and approachability, designed for everything from intimate celebrations to immersive themed events.
