different wrld
I launched Different Wrld in 2016 as a one-woman vintage brand and grew it into a 300-cap DIY venue and creative studio rooted in community and culture. I oversaw the full buildout and design of our vibrant space in the heart of West Asheville, turning it into a hub for performance, self-expression, and connection.
Across six years, I produced 200+ events—ranging from clown shows to dance parties—while leading a team of 23 diverse creatives. I managed budgets, licensing, staffing, and vendor relations, and spearheaded the design, production, and sales strategy of our original merchandise line.
Under my direction, we paid $76K+ to artists, distributed $234K+ in payroll to women, queer, trans, and Black staff, and raised $25K+ for local mutual aid. Different Wrld wasn’t just a venue—it was a movement built by and for artists, where creativity, care, and community thrived.
Make it stand out.
