Ryan Criswell
I'm Ryan, the Head Cutie in Charge at Cute Story Events, a queer-owned micro-business. With over fifteen years of experience orchestrating everything from splashy conferences to cozy dinners, Cute Story is known for turning to-dos into ta-da! moments. I've mastered the art of managing deadlines, wrangling vendors, keeping sponsors + speakers happy, and making magic happen on-sit so my clients can actually enjoy their own events. Whether it’s a queer community gathering, a brand activation, or a multi-day conference, my goal is to lead with clarity. My superpower is seeing the big picture while nailing the tiny details—always with a smile and of course, a spreadsheet. Some of my past clients are SXSW, Philadelphia Film Festival, Famm, Copperbox, and CMX. Local clients include Hive co., Bundok Books, Reclaiming Us, Queers & Quills, and Sculpt Bodywork.
