Let's Talk

Open to remote leadership roles and project work

Human connection has never mattered more.

The difference between a mediocre experience and an exceptional one? A clear purpose, thoughtful design, and someone holding the thread from start to finish.

I'm Reyna, and that's what I do. For 15+ years, I've designed and led programs, events and experiences for organizations around the world, holding the vision while managing every detail that makes it real. Whether I'm leading in-house or partnering on a project, I set the standard, build the right team, and keep everything moving toward outcomes that matter: deeper connection, sharper alignment, and moments that stay with people.

Three areas. One approach.

Employee Experience

Off-sites, all-hands and leadership development programs designed to help teams connect, align and do their best work together, from the first brief through production and delivery.

Off-sites · All-hands · Leadership programs

Community Experience

Fellowships, accelerators and founder networks that bring entrepreneurs, investors and institutions together, forging relationships that outlast the moment and become the foundation for impact to scale.

Fellowships · Accelerators · Founder networks

Brand Experience

Activations, branded spaces and partner events that build brand equity and resonance, so every gathering feels like the brand behind it. Directing creative and production teams for consistency throughout.

How I Work.

The same four steps, whether it's a three-day off-site or a seven-year program.

01
Define the ambition

Purpose, goals and what success looks like, agreed up front and measurable. I ask the questions that get past what's already known to what sits a few layers deep.

02
Design the experience

Strategy, flow and every touchpoint, designed around how we want people to feel and what they should leave with. Budget, venues, vendors and the thousand details in between.

03
Lead end-to-end

From the first brief to the final goodbye, I own the delivery and everything leading to it: creative, logistics and every guest moment. Stakeholders stay informed, not overwhelmed, and the investment pays off.

04
Learn + evolve

Outcomes assessed against the original goals, a structured retrospective, and lessons carried forward so every program builds on the last.

ADC Group

The brief:Unite ADC Group's newly combined data, AI and design teams as a new CEO steps in: deepen relationships, foster a shared culture and sharpen strategy for what's next.

As experience design and production partner, I turned the vision into 3 seamless days built to pull people out of their everyday ways of working, across six spaces each shaped around its content, from a hackathon to a forest drop to life-sized client archetypes. Between the work, moments crafted for celebrating and connecting kept the energy high, and the team left with new ways of working and a refreshed identity. "As professional an event as I've seen in my career."

I led the experience design, production and planning process alongside their internal committee, defining roles and decision points, finding a location that worked for the whole team and balancing cost against impact. Each day centered on intentional moments of connection, and by the closing session, the team said their relationships had gone from "transactional to transformational."

Summit Outside

The brief:Create a world-class culinary experience for 1,000 entrepreneurs, artists and thought leaders in a remote location with zero infrastructure, 6 weeks from concept to kickoff.

I designed and delivered a culinary journey that made food the heart of the gathering. Behind every meal was an operation built from scratch: tents, refrigeration, sourcing and staff. Three meals a day gave way to a noodle bus, a speakeasy and late-night bars tucked into an electric forest. Its centerpiece became the event's most memorable moment: a quarter-mile-long table seating all 1,000 guests for one shared dinner against the mountain.

Led the culinary program for 1,000 guests at Powder Mountain, Utah, with zero infrastructure, including a quarter-mile-long table seating every guest for one shared dinner.

Hi, I'm Reyna

I've always been a host, fascinated by what makes experiences great and obsessed with the details.

I deepened my love of hospitality in New York's top restaurants and nightclubs, where excellence was the baseline. I built an eco-tourism company in Mexico, designing tours you couldn't find anywhere else. And I've gathered founders and investors from around the world on a private island in Malaysia to take on pressing global challenges. The ingredients have always been the same: care about people, nail the details and make it memorable.

My background spans program leadership, employee experience design, brand and creative direction, space design and end-to-end production. I've set the direction for programs across three continents and been on the ground delivering them, balancing a program's identity with global partners like Barclays, Accenture and Pearson. I think of myself equally as a creative and a doer, and this work sits exactly at that intersection.

The through-line across all of it is the same: a belief that great experiences are never the product of one big gesture. They're the accumulation of many small, deliberate ones, and that accumulation is what I'm here to build.

Let's build something together.
