What I love to do
Event planning
I thrive when I am planning. From booking reservations and building itineraries to creating a cohesive theme and making sure everyone is happy; it all excites me.
Visual arts
My first love. Ever since I was a kid, I have been drawing, bullet journaling, and painting. You can have a closer look at my visual art pieces on my art Instagram account @SidSquid.Inc.
Social media
Social media is an integral part of our lives nowadays. When I am not drawing or planning, I am editing every detail of my accounts so that it reflects my personality and properly documents the fun in my life.
Music
I grew up singing along to my dad playing guitar and from then my passion for music grew. Singing turned into playing piano, guitar and ukulele. Little Sid used to have a YouTube account where she documented her latest covers. Now, making music is where I find peace in the chaos.
Graphic design
Dabbling in graphic design has been a useful hobby when it comes to making itineraries cohesive with the theme of an event or creating mementos for others to hold onto.
"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you."
— Oprah Winfrey
I have found the most joy in planning big events for my family and friends. My favorite project was planning and coordinating travel, activities, lodging, and budgeting for a 4-day bachelorette party for my best friend and 12 other women. Along with personal projects, I have professional experience from working with event planning & production companies. Below, you’ll find projects that I had the most fun with.
Event planning
A boutique event planning & coordination company, Chloe Alise Events & Design brings a unique and creative spin on traditional wedding design. I worked alongside their business owner, Chloe, as an Administrative Assistant and Coordinator. Here, I learned how to manage vendors, rental orders, and event timelines. This job has allowed me to exercise my creativity & planning skills while also bringing joy to our clients’ lives.
