Available to hire
Hi there! I’m Xiamana Vox, a Winnipeg-based arts and events professional who loves creating engaging experiences and supporting collaborative, friendly teams. I thrive in environments that value learning, growth, and positive energy, and I enjoy turning ideas into organized, on-the-ground outcomes for festivals, education programs, and community projects.
Over the years I’ve built a versatile toolkit—from coordinating festivals and directing drama teams to crafting makeup and costume designs for performances. I’m comfortable juggling multiple responsibilities, communicating clearly with colleagues and volunteers, and adapting quickly to changing circumstances to keep projects moving forward.
