Creative direction + event programming

New York, NY

Malachi K. Ward

An event programmer and creative project manager working at the intersection of style, culture, and storytelling. Based in New York, experiences are designed and delivered that bring people, ideas, and communities together.

Work spans nonprofit fundraising, executive-level programming, and creative production. At The Conference Board, member-facing programs are led end-to-end—from concept and content development to stakeholder coordination and live delivery.

Alongside this, creative direction is supported across styling, photo, and video, translating brand narratives into visual experiences that feel intentional and culturally resonant.

With a self-designed degree in Fashion Design and Entrepreneurship from Connecticut College and training in Milan, each project is approached with a balance of structure and creativity—bringing vision to life through thoughtful execution.
