Hi, I’m Carol — the creative force behind Canvas Events New York. I’ve spent more than a decade managing award-winning hospitality venues and producing experiences for Fortune 500 companies and global brands such as Samsung, Salesforce, and BlackEnterprise. My work has shaped brand stories, built global communities, and earned features in Forbes, NBC7 Chicago, and FashionWeek Online.

Now calling Cape Town home, I develop event and hospitality programs across Africa that connect people to the continent, while working to reduce the barriers that limit access, investment, and visibility for locals within these industries.

At the heart of everything I do is one goal: for people to walk away feeling seen and celebrated. That belief shapes how I build, how I create, and how I connect with the people and places around me.
