DIY Events
Paint Class
I brought a concept that many companies would typically do as an outing, into the office. Easels, brushes, canvas', and paint were set up for a paint class taught by me.
Remote employees were sent kits with the same supplies and were able to follow along via demonstrations over Zoom.

Giving Back
“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished… it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.” –
Denzel Washington
Minds Matter
WayUp partnered with a company called Minds Matter which is an organization working to transform the lives of accomplished high school students from low-income families by broadening their dreams and preparing them for college success. The WayUp team hosted in-office workshops where students learned about different types career paths that they might be interested in pursuing graduation. After the workshops, the group split into teams and they created their own product to pitch "Shark Tank" style to the panel of WayUp judges.

National Intern Day
Most companies don’t include interns in their recognition programs due to their short period of time on the team. WayUp wanted to change that so National Intern Day was born. The first annual comprised of handmade party boxes for companies to celebrate the hard work of their interns regardless of their future with the company. The event was a success and was trending #1 worldwide on Twitter.
Heart of Dinner
For Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Fandom decorated bags for Heart of Dinner. Heart of Dinner addresses food insecurity, social isolation, and loneliness among Asian American seniors who live in under-resourced and underinvested communities.
