Holiday Matinee was a creative inspiration company. We shared it with you online, in books, mixtapes, apparel, and at events.
I joined Holiday Matinee when I discovered a coworker and I had a lot in common. He had another company that he was pivoting into a blog for creative inspiration and asked me to contribute. Over a span of 15 years, I wrote blog posts, edited a book, produced events, designed products, built an app, and managed the website. Here are a few of the highlights:
Content
Role: Writer
We obsessed over the people, projects, and ideas that inspired us. Writing kept me on top of creative culture and gave me the privilege to interview talented artists and musicians.
Shop
Role: Copywriter, designer
We made products for the creative lifestyle including books, apparel, notebooks, and stickers.
Events
Role: Organizer, producer
We love using technology to bring people together. We hosted fundraisers, creative markets, and parties that were community builders in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Our success led to partnerships with brands like Ford Motor Company, TOMS Shoes, and Threadless.
App
Role: Producer
