Termed “The Sultan of the Soiree” by PaperCity Magazine, Todd has designed everything from extraordinary weddings to charity galas to rip roaring ranch parties in locales from Maine to Mexico.

Clients like the Dallas Symphony, the Mansion on Turtle Creek, Michael Kors, and Harry Winston have looked to Todd and his team for event styling. This includes design and management of every aspect of the event; seating, place settings, floral design, and lighting, down to the perfect playlist to keep guests grooving, as well as unique party favors they’ll talk about for weeks. When it comes to weddings, Todd’s lengthy client list of diverse brides know they can expect what Brides Magazine described as a “witty remix” on weddings. With a passion for traditions with a twist, Todd first gets inspired by the bride-to-be’s style, be it classic, romantic, modern, or rock n’ roll. He then adds his own inspirations and creates the dream to fit the budget, from a black tie extravaganza in a 30,000 square foot tent to intimate nuptials featuring an elegant box lunch.
Todd is also responsible for designing restaurant, lounge and bar installations in high profile projects like Tillman’s Roadhouse, and PM Nightlife Lounge.
