HAPPY RICE CREATIVE LLC

A community-centered, independent producer supporting teams in offering social impact events, public engagement, and creative storytelling services.

Creative Development

As a creative producer and ever-growing strategic thinker, I promote unconventional perspectives that inspire new actions and considerations in the work we all do. My focus at the ideation and development stage of any project is asking new questions; not just to get to the answer, but to find the best path forward for projects that will truly make the impact with efficiency, intention, and heart.

Operations & Management

I lead video, photo, and radio productions from development to delivery, advising collaborators on schedules, formats, and execution, while incorporating community-driven approaches and staying current with creative trends.

This includes strategizing and overseeing production budgets, timelines, production office, billings, and resourcing, all while managing teams of coordinators.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

I bring communities into design and planning processes from start to finish, working closely with architecture teams, government partners, and community organizers to make sure the voices that are historically unheard are heard. My work includes facilitating listening sessions, conducting interviews & focus groups, and building trusted partnerships with community organizations that bridge the gap between institutions and the people they serve.

EVENT PRODUCTION & PLANNING SERVICES

I bring events to life from the first brainstorm to the final curtain call, working closely with executive teams, board committees, and sponsors to create memorable experiences that hit every goal. My work spans the full event journey — developing compelling video content, coordinating talent across cities, and building strong vendor partnerships that make everything run smoothly. I enjoy managing diverse teams of coordinators, crew, and volunteers while keeping a close eye on budgets, timelines, and all the moving parts from planning through post-event wrap-up. Whether it's a high-stakes conference or an inspiring fundraising gala, I focus on bringing strategic insight to the day-to-day details, making sure every element supports the bigger picture and creates real impact.
