Specializes in Behind the Scenes work in order to support projects. AXR Creative is the go to for all stages of a project whether you are searching for prop/set design, spacial staging, costume design, item customization, custom styling, creative director, event coordinating, or creative project management.  

      Looking to work with brands, businesses, models, photographers/videographers, makeup artists, and event hosts. Also, people interested in stepping up their image/background for Zoom meetings or customizing an item.

Some of my notable event production experiences include:

-The Automotive Research Centers Annual Conference in 2017 and 2018.

-Studio M Detroit on Power of the Press Fest and Decked Out Detroit programing in 2021-2022.

-Beyond8 production team for a Detroit Month of Design event in 2022.

-University of Michigan Opportunity Hub Summer of Connections Tour, Detroit and Chicago sites in 2024.

During most of these events I worked on the planning teams along with being hands-on during the event days attending to tasks to ensure a great experience for the guests and vendors.

      As a Project Manager I've developed an extensive background in calculating project budgets, leading status meetings, creating project timelines, forecasting and adapting to scope creep, and reconciling final summaries for client accounts to deliver quality/cost efficient deliverables. Many of my roles also required me to act as a liaison for communication between the different stakeholders and vendors. 

      I have a background in Diversity and Cultural Studies within the Psychology and Sociology field, along with experience in different art and design styles (sewing, crafting, decor, furniture building, etc.). I combine these skills to provide clients with unique, personalized, and trendy ways to carry out their projects and creative visions. My tool/skill kit allows for efficient and large scale set designs, beginning to end organization and preparation for events/retreats/training, as well as supporting clients who are venturing out of their area of expertise to complete those personalized creative projects they envision.

      My design style is storytelling, accessible, multi-purposed, non-traditional, shapes, colors, and adaptable. I think design can be a powerful tool for showing people that new and different is always a possibility. I use spatial design to heighten potential, show perspectives, and create more approachable environments. I value people seeing themselves included in art and design, so I design through a lens of being trauma and social identity informed.

I have experience working as a:

-Project Manager

-Creative Director for photoshoots

-Art Director and 1st Assistant Art Director for film/video sets

-Set Designer

-Dialogue Facilitator

      My long term brand goal is to open an art residency studio space. It would be a multi-purpose rentable studio/gallery space and community center. While I do recognize that there are many gallery spaces in Detroit that have been presenting amazing exhibits for years, I just hope to add to that community. My vision is to create a space that houses all aspects of the creative process.

      Creativity is interdisciplinary and has the capability to expand and evolve when introduced to different perspectives. Providing spaces for different mediums of art to be made; whether you do pottery, painting, wood work, studio photography, dance, music or simply need a temporary space to work on/practice what you do best. Then offering gallery space to the artists working in the studio or other local artists.

      The community center connects the different aspects together; people would be welcome to view and buy from the gallery, take classes to learn different types of art, rent space to host events, or have a space to be around others with common interests.
