I'm a writer and creative producer working in tech. For the last decade, I've been producing events and stories that speak to the needs of marginalized communities. I've planned and hosted tech conferences, festivals, short films, music videos, art fairs, gallery shows, and speaker series. I love assembling teams who can develop an idea from scratch and see it through to a high-quality execution. My teams are responsible for some of the most impactful and diverse cultural programming the City of Portland and its Regional Arts and Culture Council have seen in the last few years.
As an artist myself, helping other artists secure funding for their work is a passion; I often oversee project fundraising and finances, so I try to help distribute resources with an equity-minded lens. Working with other marginalized creatives is a priority for me this year. If you are interested in working together, please email me at joni{at}futureprairie{dot}com.
