Welcome to Kocreatevents with Kobi

With nearly seven years of experience in event planning and production, I bring a passion for creating memorable experiences and executing every detail with intention. My background includes large-scale events, cultural programming, community engagement, nonprofit events, trade shows, and live experiences. I’m especially interested in expanding my career into experiential marketing, brand activations, entertainment, fashion, beauty, and culture, where I can apply my event expertise in a more brand-focused environment.

With a strong understanding of audience engagement and cultural relevance, I approach events with creativity, strategy, and an eye for the details that shape how people experience a moment. I’m excited to bring that foundation into opportunities that connect brands and audiences through thoughtful, immersive experiences.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me tackling my next DIY project, stressing over my fantasy football team, or patiently waiting for the next Telfar bag drop.

“My mission is to use my visions for exciting events and my organizational skills to create change and opportunity to individuals who aren't represented through community engagement programs within the entertainment industry.”

— Kobi Calhoun

Kolbe Index Assessment Results

The Kolbe (2021) assessment “measures your instinctive way of doing things and the result is called your MO (method of operation). It is the only validated assessment that measures a person's conative strengths. Gain greater understanding of your own human nature and begin the process of maximizing your potential.”

In my Kolbe Index Assessment, it describes myself as highly dependable at providing comprehensive methods for monitoring activity. Others can count on me to plan thoroughly, coordinate details, and be pragmatic in the use of diagrams and schedules you create. I learned that my best way of tackling space and tangibles is to envision through creating presentations, environing circumstances, sketching ideas and conceptualizing solutions (2021).
