Emma Lueders, Creative Producer
Emma graduated from Syracuse University, where she studied Fashion Design with a minor in Innovation and Design Startups. Naturally drawn to the intersection of aesthetics and experience, she discovered events as the perfect way to unite her two favorite things: design and entertaining. At Revel Rouge, she approaches each project with a creative eye and an intuitive sense of how spaces should feel, not just look.
A Revel Rouge moment that stands out for Emma was a weekend-long Thayers Skincare Brand event in Connecticut, set across a working farm and a historic schoolhouse. Being immersed in every phase of the production, from concept through execution, made it one of the most fulfilling projects she has worked on in her career.
Pria Hawlader, Executive Assistant
Pria graduated from Hunter College in New York City and was drawn to the world of events by the magic of watching ideas evolve from concept to reality. She finds deep fulfillment in transforming a vision into an experience people can truly feel, enjoy, and remember, a sense of excitement that never fades. At Revel Rouge, she is known for her thoughtful attention to administrative detail and ability to bring warmth and intention to every stage of the planning process.
One Revel Rouge moment that stands out for Pria was an apothecary-inspired Halloween dinner that struck the perfect balance between intimacy and elegant mystery. Cozy yet haunting, the evening unfolded seamlessly from a lively cocktail hour to a beautifully curated dinner, a reflection of how powerful it can be when every detail comes together just right.
Carly Fonda, Social Media & Storytelling Lead
A born and raised West Coaster, she graduated from Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, and has spent the last few years living in San Francisco. She has worked in events in some capacity since high school and was drawn to the field by its endlessly intriguing nature. At Revel Rouge, her work brings together her passions for writing, hospitality, design, and public relations. In a world that can often feel heavy, she finds genuine joy in being part of moments rooted in celebration and connection.
One Revel Rouge experience that stands out for Carly, is Midnight at the Met, where she was on site throughout much of the day as the event took shape. Watching Chelsea Industrial transform from a blank warehouse into a museum-inspired setting felt like witnessing a theatrical production come to life. The scale of collaboration and creativity required made the experience especially meaningful, and she felt privileged to be part of something truly larger than herself.
