ABOUT ESSENCE PRESENTS
Est. 2021
It came to me under the dim and moody lighting of the most breathtaking chandelier I had ever seen. I was operating the audio as a technician for an event in one of the oldest ballrooms in Boston. Under one of the most beautiful articulations of light- acting as a beacon of spirit in a room filled with joy, I understood in that moment that there is an essential character in every living thing. Whether it’s an idea, movement, event, behavior, creation, or experience, it deserves to be conveyed through the source it is derived from and emphasized in its authentic beauty in the way this chandelier was doing to everything in its light. This is my work.
Essence Presents blossomed out of the idea that the essence of a spirit, place, or tangible creation is meant to be expressed with utmost beauty and authenticity.

I first became captivated by the world of visual arts at age 10 when I received my first-ever video camera as a birthday gift. Recording everything I thought was captivating through my youthful eyes became my foundation for recognizing prolific moments in the mundane and understanding what makes a visual and audible experience one worth sharing.

Growing up in rural New Hampshire, there has always been an innate and insatiable pull toward natural sights and sounds that come through in my work. I have always found nature to be the most intrinsically beautiful thing on this planet- the ebbs and flows, the dying and growth. This intrigue only increased after 4 dream-like summers traveling out west with my family where I discovered my love for landscape photography.
This spark led me to get my BA in Media Production, where I then moved on to produce live experiences through AV technology, manage logistics behind experiential marketing campaigns, and eventually shift into the digital realms. Now I help small businesses and creatives level up their digital presence for their audiences through the magic of Essence Presents Production. Thank you for being here :)

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF WELLNESS BUSINESSES, SOLOPRENEURS AND CRAFTERS IN OUR STORY
Being a native to the northeast, life has always held significance for me in the peace that comes from nature. And I've found that the closer I connect with nature, my capacity and desire to serve others from the heart grows deeper.
The passion-driven businesses I've seen others develop has been my #1 inspiration in my own work- not simply because they're living through their passion and purpose, but because they also understand and implement by hand the beauty & vitality that derives from nature, from simplicity and from captivating the raw power that lives in their hearts. This is why we serve you.
