Paste Magazine & Squarespace

A Multi-City Live Event & Video Series

The Paste Parlour

presented by Squarespace

Through an ambitious collaboration with Paste Magazine, Squarespace set out to forge deeper connections with the next generation of artists and creatives across three renowned music and design festivals. As the driving force behind this immersive program, I worked hand-in-hand with the talented Paste team to transform this vision into an unforgettable reality.

Over the course of three electrifying festivals, our crews captured the raw energy of incredible up-and-coming artists. We distilled these intimate moments into a robust library of 80+ videos, including behind-the-scenes interviews, stripped-down performances, and an exclusive dinner party hosted at one of Chicago's finest restaurants.

3 Cities, 3 Festivals: CMJ in New York City, HOW Design Live in Chicago, and Sasquatch! Music Festival in Washington state
Over 40 talented artists across music, food, and design
80+ Videos including interviews, a dinner party, and single-take music recordings

From the initial pitch to on-the-ground event execution, I spearheaded every aspect of this groundbreaking program. By seamlessly blending Squarespace's brand ethos with Paste's authentic storytelling, we crafted an immersive, multi-dimensional experience that resonated profoundly with audiences across digital platforms.
