Welcome. I’m Denise
By day I am an experience designer and executive producer for some of the top brands in the world. My sweetspot - turning events into experiences that have impact.
I am the founder and chief experience officer of an event production collective, Twofold Story.
I am also more than my day job. I am a multi-faceted creator; a doodler, an occasional abstract artist, and a very committed dog mom.
I work with a strategic mindset and a service-based heart.

I have spent many years asking a single question
WHY
I’m a hybrid in the event world. Part strategist, part experience designer – throw in an executive producer and you get someone obsessed with experiences that make sense and cents at every touchpoint.
I think like a journalist and deliver like a ninja and I love to create memories and meaning for humans through experiences. And yeah, I’m also an abstract artist passionate about colorful exploration.
In 2024, I began helping agencies, AV companies and cause related brands, beyond just working in a freelance capacity. I have curated production teams to take projects from concept to fruition. I am now doing experiential work under an updated moniker, Twofold Story - which captures the spirit of Denise Cannon and colleagues.
That said, here’s a bit more about me.
