When Minnesota Meetings and Events reached out to Girl Friday about event design trends for 2020, I couldn’t come up with answers fast enough. Working in experiential design has been not only a lot of fun, but illuminated some of the changes coming our way in the next year.

As the Client Manager at Girl Friday, I worked with a variety of clients, all looking for a unique interactive piece to help them stand out. Whether it was helping Target say the biggest “THANK YOU!” to their employees, or teaming up with a local agency to make Bremer’s rebranding a smash hit, we approached every project from a new angle.
