Event Designer Extraordinaire

Just as with interior design, event designers never cease to amaze me with their ability to transform a space.  Being that Los Angeles is a city with a never-ending amount of events and premiers taking place, event designers are in constant demand.  Unlike the pace of interior design these events move at record speed with the event designer needing to create and transform a space in a very short period of time.  One local event designer who does just that is Tony Schubert; principal of Event Eleven.  Tony happens to be a childhood friend of mine from summers on Catalina Island.  When I discovered Tony and his company, I was impressed beyond words by his work.  In addition to event design, Tony also specializes in weddings, concerts, fashion shows, and interiors.

It's amazing the transformation and lighting that can take place "under a tent."

And here's Tony today...

AND he may just kill me for this, but I had to include a bit of nostalgia, here he is coming to hang out on my (family's) boat on Catalina Island with our friends, summer of '91:

Congrats to Tony and all his success!  Look forward to seeing more of his amazing work!
