FOUNDER AND LEAD PLANNER, KARA SMITH.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, I’ve always followed my lifelong passion for fashion, design, and event curation.

By working with the Sales and Marketing team at Nicole Miller NYC, handling Wholesale Events at David Yurman NYC, and working six years for PaperCity Magazine in Houston, Texas, my past local and national experience in the event-sphere has allowed me to bring an unparalleled perspective to the Houston market and beyond.
