Annually on Valentine’s day and ongoing throughout the year, volunteers organize localized community gatherings to distribute essential gift bags to those in need and their pets. Since its humble inception in Venice, LOVE RIDE has spread to San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas with thousands of care packages being distributed amongst the less fortunate. This initiative is not only an outreach program but a social catalyst for community activation and participation. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2a7c1206cda1053eba255c/t/5e2ac4f9e7f6da189c140262/1579861247634/helping-hearts-2-done.jpeg Work - Nonprofit - Helping Hearts Helping Hearts is the philanthropic arm of the Desert Hearts brand with the goal to combat homelessness and create a lasting social impact outside of the dance community that trickles into the fabric of everyday society.

Partners have included the Los Angeles Mission, Rady’s Children’s Hospital, and other local homeless shelters. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2a7c1206cda1053eba255c/t/5e2ac4b259c76916bb93c3d1/1579861179439/21319109_843288432495953_8953535295852803361_o.jpg Work - Nonprofit - Pile Palace Is a nonprofit that receives its funding through multiple event fundraisers produced throughout the year.

Over eight sold-out days, attendees lined up on Hollywood Blvd. to mingle with a cast of over 40 live puppets and human actors in this completely immersive environment. Attendees interacted with the characters throughout the space where they could grab a signature cocktail, watch stage performers (both human and puppet), have their photo taken with two crude-mouthed puppets in the ‘VIP Room,’ get (sugar) high with the house dealer in the ‘Sugar Den,’ play Blackjack in the ‘Casino,’ get a tattoo in the ‘Tattoo Parlor,’ and more before receiving puppet-themed swag in the gift shop on the way out. Reception was outstanding from fans and press alike, rightfully earning an extension for an additional weekend. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e2a7c1206cda1053eba255c/t/5e2ac739a14fd526ec9b7d14/1579861899445/PHAM10-24-19277781.jpg Work - Activations - Hello Future Designed to address the diversity pipeline problem with STEM, Hello Future launched October 23 and 24, 2019 in downtown Los Angeles.
