CANVAS - Key Persons
Haleema Linares is an Event and Sales Strategist who partners with individuals, groups, or corporations to create unique events that are designed to meet partner-client needs. She spent nearly a decade working in Las Vegas, New York, and Miami to transform the visions of multimillion-dollar companies and startups into virtual, immersive, and experiential environments. While as a company owner or as an employee, she has planned events from 50 to 5,000+ guests for small gatherings and large conventions. She can offer expert guidance on what venues and vendors will work best for your specific event, based on your specific vision, design, budget, guest count, and overall priorities for your attendees and audience. Most recently, she was featured in an article titled "Spending Smart on Decor for Fundraisers," in the Special Event magazine.
Haleema is drawn to the fast-paced, high energy and dynamic world of events. She is trusted and highly regarded in the event world due to her creativity, attention to detail, patience, ability to multi-task, fair pricing, contract negotiations, creative problem solving, and ability to stay calm under pressure. Having done close to $1 million in sales her first year in business, she also managed a team of 10 employees while being an on-site operation and project manager.
She consistently brings fresh and exciting ideas to drive award-winning customized fabrication, Instagrammable moments, and sold-out events. It's not about mastering the event theme of the season- it's how well you listen to the client's vision, think outside of the box, and turn blank canvases into unforgettable experiences.
Haleema is a previous partner at Sktch Events.
