Amazon Music × Bad Bunny Residency
Client: Amazon Music  |  Role: Experiential Producer  |  Location: Puerto Rico
The Challenge
A 48-hour turnaround. A high-profile residency tied to one of the most anticipated music moments in Puerto Rican cultural history. Amazon Music needed a producer who could lead a complex multi-vendor activation under maximum pressure — while honoring the generational weight of the story being told.
The Execution
Led all on-the-ground production for an immersive fan activation anchored in multi-generational Puerto Rican music storytelling. The spatial environment featured vinyl installations, curated music history timelines, and interactive audience engagement zones designed to move fans through culture, not just content. Managed vendors, crews, logistics, client expectations, and real-time problem solving across the full production window.
Results & Impact
The activation exceeded all client benchmarks — generating 7,000+ Amazon Music sign-ups directly from the experience. More significantly, the production delivered an authentic cultural moment that resonated across generations, translating brand investment into genuine community connection.

7,000+ Amazon Music sign-ups. Activation exceeded client goals across all key metrics.

ComplexCon — Sneaker Shopping IRL
Client: Complex Networks  |  Role: Senior Producer  |  Scale: Large-format convention production
Sneaker Shopping is one of the most recognizable digital franchises in sneaker culture. The challenge was translating a beloved internet experience into a physical environment that felt just as electric — without losing what made it resonate online. This was not a branded booth. This was a spatial production built to move an audience through culture.
Spatial Storytelling
Designed and produced an environment that translated internet-native energy into a physically immersive retail experience — combining editorial design thinking with live production logistics.
Production Operations
Managed fabrication collaboration, sponsor integrations, and vendor coordination across a large-scale convention floor with multiple simultaneous activations and live production demands.
Audience Engagement
Engineered audience flow and experiential touchpoints to maximize dwell time, social sharing, and live fan participation — bringing internet culture into real-world environments at scale.

NBA Puerto Rico — Joakim Noah Project
Client: NBA / Production Partner  |  Role: Field Producer  |  Location: Puerto Rico, Multiple Island Locations | Budget: ~$100K
Field producing a culturally rooted basketball storytelling project across Puerto Rico required more than production skills — it required cultural fluency, local relationships, and the ability to navigate real-world logistics on a dynamic island-wide shoot that touched communities, courts, and people with authentic intention.
What Was Required
  • Multi-location scouting across Puerto Rico
  • Local crew and logistics coordination
  • Real-time problem solving in complex environments
  • Supporting viral content production for NBA distribution
  • Authentic Puerto Rican basketball narrative

The production contributed to content that reached NBA-scale audiences while remaining deeply rooted in the island's authentic basketball culture.
Media is currently in Post Production.
Palette Group × YouTube — Matcha Workshop with @urmomashley
Client: Palette Group / YouTube  |  Role: Production Support & On-Site Lead  |  Location: Brooklyn, NY  |  Budget: ~$30K
Led production support and on-site execution for an immersive creator event in Brooklyn — bringing together digital creators and cultural tastemakers for an interactive matcha experience centered around wellness, creativity, and community. The brief was deceptively simple: make something premium feel effortless.
Worked across event logistics, spatial flow, vendor coordination, guest experience, and production execution to transform the venue into a visually driven, highly shareable environment optimized for both in-person interaction and digital content creation. Every element — lighting, flow, hospitality, sound — was calibrated to feel like a discovery rather than an activation.
Production Pillars
Spatial Design
Social-first environment built for content creation and authentic community interaction
Hospitality
Hospitality-driven guest experience that elevated every touchpoint from arrival to exit
Creator Engagement
Seamless integration of influencer programming with brand storytelling and cultural relevance
Nathy Peluso — "Café Malportada" Listening Experience
Client: Artist / Label  |  Role: Experiential Production Lead  |  Location: New York City
Intimate. Intentional. Transformative. The Café Malportada listening experience demanded a complete venue transformation for one of Latin music's most singular artistic voices. This was not a listening party — it was a spatial production built to make an audience feel inside the world of the record.
Coordinated all production elements: venue transformation, artist and team collaboration, fan experience design, hospitality operations, security and logistics planning, and the atmospheric and spatial storytelling that gave the experience its texture. The activation generated viral engagement and press attention, establishing a benchmark for how intimate music events can be produced with editorial precision.
Key Production Areas
  • Venue transformation and atmosphere design
  • Artist collaboration and production alignment
  • Fan experience and hospitality flow
  • Security, logistics, and event operations
  • Viral-ready spatial and atmospheric storytelling
