Turning Events into reality

Turning Events into reality *

Kia ora, I’m Frankie, Born and raised in Whangārei, Te Tai Tokerau, I’ve lived and breathed the creative arts for as long as I can remember. My journey began on stage, but it was behind the scenes where I truly found my work ethic. From the first time I coordinated a show’s moving parts, I knew that storytelling didn’t stop at performance it lived through everything.

Today, I channel that passion into something bigger: crafting experiences that connect, celebrate, and inspire. I care about community, uplift rangatahi, and honour the unique character of every event I touch. Whether you're launching a brand, producing a piece of theatre or holding a festival, I’ll work with you to make sure every detail reflects your vision, I’ll connect you with top of the line AV companies, high quality event hire companies, beautiful performers, and top notch event staff.

Let’s make something unforgettable , together.
