CURATE emerges as an invite-only enclave designed for seasoned and esteemed wedding professionals, boasting a minimum of 5+ years of owning their businesses. Each Founding Member has been meticulously selected for their capacity to contribute something distinctive to this inaugural community.
For more than a decade, Robin has excelled as a Wedding Planner and Designer while also managing and providing consultation for multiple venues in Orange County. Her extensive experience includes holding roles in Industry Leadership, having served as the past Programs Director for WIPA SoCal and Co-Director for ABC-OC. Through these roles, Robin has developed an intimate understanding of what it takes to effectively run a thriving Wedding Industry group, recognizing the areas that require transformation and enhancement to better cater to the bustling and exceptionally talented wedding creatives.
Recently, she completed a rigorous 6-month Business Mastermind program led by the one and only Jasmine Star, an experience that has profoundly inspired Robin to take the reins and reintroduce a supportive community for our creative industry. The detours brought about by the pandemic have underscored the need for a revitalized and nurturing environment within our industry, prompting Robin to step forward with renewed determination.
