I’ve always found a reason to celebrate.

Now, I’m here to bring your Pinterest board to life.

—

Growing up in Kansas City, I’ve always been lucky to be surrounded by exquisite experiences. I’ve always been the friend that wants to celebrate birthdays, half-birthdays, Friendsgivings, dinner parties — I’m the host of my friend group and I’m known to make every day an experience.

I worked in corporate Marketing for 4 years, before taking the massive leap to follow my dreams. My Vice President always told me, “In another life, you were an event planner.” But, as my favorite book says, “Life’s Long.” There has always been more to life than my corporate job, and I knew it and felt it in my bones. So, here we are!

I’m excited to be your event planner. Whether it be month of coordination, full service, or your dog’s 5th birthday party — we’re going to make a moment out of it.

So, let’s chat and let’s create the art of the moment!

The Story Behind ÉLORA

An expression of the art of the moment.

Inspired by the spirit of élan, the richness of l'or, and the feeling of an aura, ÉLORA was created around the idea that the most meaningful experiences are found in the moments we create and share.

ÉLORA is rooted in the art of bringing people together. I believe every occasion holds the opportunity to become something extraordinary — not through extravagance, but through thoughtful design, intentional details, and a distinct point of view.

From personal celebrations to distinctive brand experiences, I approach every occasion as an opportunity to create something that feels considered, genuine, and uniquely its own.

Because at the heart of every experience is a moment worth remembering.

ÉLORA — The art of the moment.

A little vision, a lot of intention, and an appreciation for the art of a well-designed moment.

ÉLORA is an event planning, design, and experiential studio based in Kansas City, creating distinctive experiences wherever inspiration takes us. From thoughtfully curated weddings and private celebrations to immersive brand activations and launches, I bring ideas to life through considered design, unexpected details, and an unmistakable point of view.

No occasion is too intimate. No vision too ambitious. Just good ideas, thoughtfully executed, and moments that stay with you long after the last detail.

You bring the vision. I’ll make a moment of it.

The Mica Touch

A little vision. A thoughtful touch. An extraordinary experience.

Inspired by the Midas touch, The Mica Touch is the art of transforming your ideas into something beyond what you imagined.

Every vision begins somewhere. A collection of inspiration, a Pinterest board, a passing thought, or an idea waiting to take shape. My role is to bring those pieces together and turn them into a cohesive, elevated experience — one that feels distinctly yours and leaves a lasting impression.

From custom vision boards and carefully considered timelines to personalized vendor recommendations and thoughtful design details, every element is approached with intention. I take the guesswork out of the process, bringing clarity to the planning, creativity to the details, and ease to the experience.

When the day arrives, everything has its place. All that's left for you to do is be present, take it all in, and enjoy the moment.

You bring the vision. I'll add the touch.
