Arisa Violet Kim

A storyteller at heart and a coordinator by trade, spent over four years orchestrating the rhythm behind live productions and luxury events—where timing is everything and the magic lives in the details.

Entertainment Production & Project Coordinator

United States & Canada

Background

With a Master’s in Media Management and a background in English Literature and Creative Writing, I learned early on that the right words, and the right timing, can transform an idea into an experience.

My path has taken me from the refined elegance of Tiffany & Co., where I mastered the intricacies of luxury coordination, to the dynamic, ever-shifting stages of live entertainment and media production with Norwegian Cruise Line and Matrix Model Staffing. Each role added a new layer: logistics, communication, collaboration, and the art of staying calm when everything is moving fast.

I’ve spent the last several years behind the scenes, making creative visions possible, threading together cue sheets, talent, schedules, and scripts into seamless, compelling productions. Whether it’s a live performance, a luxury event, or a story waiting to be told, I find purpose in the details and joy in the craft of making things come alive.
