FROTHING FEST
What started out as a vintage clothing business out of a friend’s garage, has now turned into its own music festival bringing in nationally known artists and giving a spotlight to hundreds of different small businesses. Frothing Fest is a vendor market combined with a music festival that was born in West Campus while I was attending school at the University of Texas. This festival that I created has been sponsored by major companies such as Liquid Death, High Brew Coffee, and American Campus Communities. Creating this festival has taught me how to collaborate with different brands and artists. It has also given me the opportunity to showcase how I can bring big ideas to life.
This event that we helped put together with West Campus Music in the Spring of 2023 sold over 400 tickets, and featured three up and coming bands based out of Austin. This event gained sponsorships from brands such as Duffl and was hosted at the venue Cedar Street Courtyard in downtown Austin.

Student Founder House

In collaboration withe The Launchpad at UT Austin and American Campus Communities I was hired to produce the concert and vendor portion of a three day SXSW inspired event at The Callaway House called the Student Founder House. This event, “The Student Founder House”. I led efforts in being the stage manager for the event and working within a budget to produce the concert, and handled all artist contracts and accommodations. I also managed mapping out all of the vendor slots, and keeping up with all of the vendor forms and agreements. For this event, I booked rapper Matt Ox to headline who currently has over 500k Instagram followers, and kept track of all 25 vendors.

I brought in artists Stone Cold Jzzle and Daydream Twins to come perform, and arranged a vendor market showcasing over 20 great small businesses from Austin. This concert was sponsored by Guayaki Yerba Mate and had over 400 attendees.
