Community Engagement

My journey as a designer extends beyond my professional work, reflecting my commitment to leadership, community building, and public speaking. I actively host and participate in events that foster connections, inspire growth, and encourage diverse voices.

Ongoing

New York Story Night

In September 2022, I co-founded "New York Story Night," a literary community event in Manhattan. Our vision is to provide a platform where creative writers, both amateur and professional, can share their stories and engage with an audience.

 

This event serves as a beta testing ground for writers, allowing them to receive immediate feedback before finalizing their work. Beyond storytelling, New York Story Night fosters a grassroots community where literature enthusiasts can connect and engage with New York's vibrant literary culture.
