In the Works

MEANWHILE, SHE’S BACK IN THE OFFICE…

After several years consulting with the global production company, SMUGGLER on immersive experience projects, I joined the company full-time in 2025 to lead the development of original work for its new Experience department. Our first concept, bringing astrology to life in a wholly new way using storytelling, technology and design, is currently in production to launch in NYC. We have several other properties in the pipeline, so stay tuned…

IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE…

I quite literally stumbled on CUL DE SAC’s first pop-up in a community garden near my house in the East Village. A wood burning sauna, cold plunge, great music and even better vibes—I was hooked! CUL DE SAC is a NYC-based nonprofit building toward an outdoor community sauna where wellness, culture, community, and the spirit of nightlife come together. I’ve been helping with the organization’s strategy and communications as it grows towards its vision of making communal bathing feel less like a luxury amenity and more like public infrastructure. Come sweat with us!

MORE TO COME FROM THE PEONIES !

Alix Sloan and I are back behind the keyboard working on the second book in The Peonies series! Beyond thrilled to be digging into the follow up to our debut middle grade novel, The Peonies: Summer in the City! The humorous and heart-warming novel for middle grade readers was inspired by the many amazing young people in our lives and addresses real-world subjects like friendship, family, and finances, in a fun and engaging way.

The series follows the story of a pair of 11-year-old best friends, Poppy and Esme, “P & E” or “The Peonies” for short. When they found out they’d be facing middle school separately, they turned the worst news ever into the time of their lives in The Peonies: Summer in the City. What happens when it’s time to go back to school(s)?? Watch this space…And if you haven’t read the first book, now’s your chance!

UPDATE!! THE FALLEN SAINT // HOTBED MUSIC HALL

The Fallen Saint // Hotbed Music Hall, is a venture I've been happily working on with a group of talented colleagues/friends from Blue Man Group, Queen of the Night, STOMP! and beyond.

Hotbed Music Hall is a world-class entertainment venue and full service café/bar anchored by The Fallen Saint, a new live music/immersive theater concept inspired by the music and culture of New Orleans from turn-of-the-century through Prohibition.

Just days away from breaking ground on our first venue, this awesome project was put on a COVID pause. The initial disappointment was quickly replaced by the relief of NOT having a big entertainment and hospitality venue in uncertain times for our industry. We carefully put everything in storage and have an incredible, proven concept ready to go that can easily flex to meet any new industry guidelines. We’re committed to bringing this winner to fruition and we’re open for discussion! CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

THE UNVEILING

A friend and I were commissioned to create an immersive dining experience/nightlife concept for an NYC hotel. They loved it but some corporate drama kept it from happening (the 10K square foot space is sadly still empty…).

BUT, this means…this super sexy, super chic, super flexible experience is looking for a home. It is centered around the modern art world—with plenty of opportunities for celebrity appearances, guest chefs and rotating visual artists. The costs to produce and operate are relatively low and it’s designed to smoothly transition from show to nightlife to keep the party going! We are in very early conversations with a couple of possible venues (and totally open to others, call me!), so hopefully it will come to life somewhere.
