THE ADVISORY BOARD

We all know “it takes a village” and bringing a dream to life - like Camp Rover - is no exception.

Before I even knew I fully wanted to commit to this, I started to rally people around me. I wanted to have the guidance, wisdom, and Cheerleader Energy from this amazing group of outstanding Creatives.

They are folks I both trust, respect, and admire, and they are utterly killing it in their creative fields.

Retail & Brand Nerd | Marketing & Strategy | Graphic Design
Hi! I’m Amber. I love helping brands explore their potential through visuals, voice, and a solid plan that’s built on their needs (not necessarily in that order).
My brand is hot pink, with a little bit of glitter, and a good dose of dork added in for fun. But that’s me! Your brand is your own. I’m here to respect it, and help it be the best and most authentic version of whatever YOUR vision is for it.

Founder | Event Planner & Designer

Founder and Owner of Tukoda Productions
I am passionate about human connection and social impact, so I create spaces that allow people to genuinely connect to produce impactful work. Corporate events often have a certain connotation that doesn't align with my desire for inclusive, purposeful and accessible experiences. So I work with like-minded people to take some beige off and add a little colour to corporate.
