Being the COO and founder of @theextraingredient m Being the COO and founder of @theextraingredient means wearing a lot of hats, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! From coordinating events and working with clients to floral design, decor, and making sure every little detail comes together, no two days ever look the same. One of my favorite parts of TEI is getting to work 1:1 with our clients and building those relationships along the way. What makes us different is that everything is under one roof and in-house. From catering and florals to decor and event planning, we bring it all together with one team, one vision, and one seamless experience. It’s a lot to juggle, but I love getting to be part of bringing our clients’ visions to life. 🤍 #TheExtraIngredient #SeattleEvents #SeattleEventPlanning
