What's MAXerie?

MAXerie (maks/uh-ree) from the names of the two strongest creative influences in my life: my Bubbie Paula Max and my Aunt Valerie. My drive to produce memorable and unique experiences is in homage to them.

I'm James

For over ten years I called the Google Events + Experiences Team my home. My time there was formative, giving me the opportunity to learn from some of the industry’s best producers, creatives, marketers and agencies.

During that time, I was exposed to every aspect of the production process across a wide range of events. This helped me cultivate the ability to focus on the small details while always understanding how they fit into the bigger picture and discover my inherent capacity for project management.

As a freelance event producer, I build on those years of experience to create events that both reinforce and elevate your company’s unique personality.
