What Carey does
I produce events, film, and multimedia projects, mostly in Seattle. I am a full-on utility player whose skills are MADD when the chips are down. I collaborate with people or companies who know a good idea when they have one, take risks, and make fun happen. My events are always: 1) interactive, 2) memorable, 3) perfect for the size and group involved, 4) designed to delight and challenge the participants and to best suit the environment.
What Carey does best
I specialize in finding out what needs to happen, working with my client and others to make a plan, and then knocking out obstacles in a fun, unlady-like fashion. I approach each project like my mom's life depends on the outcome, and although I have hard skills like the ability to write, paint, develop campaigns, etc., I think my strongest asset is my ability and desire to cut through bullshit and make things happen. I am also lucky enough to have friends all over the city who I can pull onto my team when they are right for the project. This means that when you need a tatoo'd bartender who can easily rattle off limmericks, a giant birthday cake bus with candles that stay lit all night, two gorgeous girls dressed like leopards who are also motivational speakers, a fast and wicked smart film editor, a really good tax accountant, someone to help you design a website in 6 days, etc., I am usually about 1-3 phone calls away from making that happen.
What does Carey need?
I am always looking for new ideas and people. Love to help with projects that are unusual, original, and, most of all, AMAZING. I am happy to take on new clients who want something out of the ordinary. I am also most pleased to help people and organizations who are passionate about what they are doing.
I've noticed I'm inclined to intervene in the operations of every day life on behalf of bohemian ideals. Want to help?
