When we moved to Arizona in 2023, we had $300 left in our account after we moved in.
No plan. No jobs. No AZ contacts. No guarantees - just a decision.

Fear shows up when you’re about to outgrow your old life.

Sometimes it’s NOT fear of failing…
it’s fear of succeeding.

Heating things up real hot for @allure___entertainment tonight! This was a great trio working with @sydnee.vaile and @sodamngully … improv moments are the best kind of moments! ❤️‍🔥🔥🫶🏽

Ah, cute… Hana is all glowed up!

Still built on entertainment — but designed for full event strategy, production and execution. New website complete, go check it out: https://t.co/rIqBb4a9ag

Hana Events & Experiences.

Entertainment is just one element.
The real work is designing the entire environment.

We create and coordinate full event worlds—flow, ambiance, décor, food, music, lighting, guest experience, and of course the entertainment we’re known for.

This birthday party leveled up with two custom body-taped Disco Head models (4+ hours of taping) and a burlesque artist rotating as an aerial lollipop performer. Every detail was intentional—my favorite moment was the sparkle of the tape mixing with the bubble guns. 🪩✨

Connection isn’t an accident.
It’s something you build — one moment, one conversation, one experience at a time.

That’s what Hana Interactive Social was all about.

Tactile. Immersive. Hands-on. Real AF.

This one for UNTD SLR knocked it out of the ballpark! All black, sexy, but with a motivational tone. Custom requests get an extra dash of magic when we get in zone designing these shows! Shout to Rose Wild for designing this spicy masterpiece with me. Video credit: @infvmoz

Boys & Girls Club of Greater Scottsdale had their giant fundraising Gala at @scottsdalehangarone and wow, what an experience. I don't think I've shot for 7 hours straight in a very long time. It was incredible to be the photographer capturing such an epic night! #BoysAndGirlsClub
