So remember the Offbeat Empire party that happened last month? Kelli from Shindig Events is the one who made it happen. Today, I'm here to tell you what she can make happen for you.

First, some back story: Kelli had over twelve years of experience in event management and entertainment production in Los Angeles, before moving to Seattle where she's currently based.
