"O Christmas tree, afforded me the greatest glee!" Last week, along with Mayor Cavalier Johnson (and Bango too😉), we lit up the Cheer District (Deer District) outside of Fiserv Forum with the City of Milwaukee Christmas Tree, presented by the We Energies Foundation. The design represents the spirit of being a kid at Christmastime. Although the ornaments might be traditional, I incorporated my signature style to make it unique and reflective of the bold and bright spirit of Milwaukee. My hope is that this tree will provide an abundance of joy and bright light to people who visit it! 🎄🌟☃️🎼🎅💝

Milwaukee is my kind of town and I'm excited to tell the stories of the people, places, businesses, and neighborhoods that make it so special! I'm thrilled to reveal this new project in partnership with the extraordinary teams at Visit Milwaukee and Team Lammi. We've been filming "Milwaukee Made" with Kingdom Filmworks for the past several months and the show will air across Midwest television markets and online starting in late spring. Thank you to Peggy Williams-Smith, Joshua Albrecht, Claire Koenig, Kathryn Lavey, Brian Lammi, and Mark Kass for your incredible leadership and enthusiasm for the show. Stay tuned for more details soon!

Magic happens when all the elements come together at an event - the venue, the design, the program, and the brand story. This example also showcases that a 2 hour luncheon can have significant impact while offering the audience a "polished" experience that is engaging and inspiring. I'm grateful to my partners at Goodwill Greater Milwaukee & Chicago for the opportunity to highlight the amazing work that's being done in our community through programs like TalentBridge, Community Access Points, Day Services, and United For Good.
