Finally made it to H.I Space, and it was worth the visit.

I had the honor of meeting Daniel Martín Rincón (Daniel Martin) and seeing his work in person. “la eliminación inmediata e indefinida,” “Monumento instantáneo,” and “Invernadero para una nube diseccionada en 17” all hold something about memory, stillness, and what we cover and carry.

Founded in 2023 by Peter Manion and co-directed by Sebastián Llovera, H.I Space is building a real bridge between the St. Louis art community and international artist. I’m excited for the momentum this gallery is creating and the doors it opens for local and international artists in STL.

Go see it. If you can, support the work too!

Last night I represented a hospitality group and got to work alongside the American Institute of Architects (AIA St. Louis) and meet the movers and shakers of St. Louis Design Week. Honored is the only word for it.

Somewhere in the middle of the night I ran into another D’Marco Williams. , a fellow creative I started following on IG shortly after I moved states. Full circle moment. lol

Moments like this remind me why I keep showing up in rooms: the people you find online can turn into the people you build with in person. I’m excited to see what we can build toward a self-sustained, socioeconomically sound creator economy, one where the people shaping culture are resourced to keep shaping it.

Grateful for every conversation. More soon.

From tech to curation: the long way to exactly where I belong.

My path didn’t move in a straight line; it spiraled. Tech taught me systems thinking. Marketing taught me storytelling. With hospitality in the mix of those two colliding, I morphed into something I didn’t have a name for yet: cultural curation.

Today that looks like multiple hats, I’m genuinely proud of. I’m proud to announce that I’m the new addition to the Guest Experience team for a contemporary art museum, and Banquet Liaison for Hotel 21c. Different rooms, same throughline: creating moments where people feel something, and where culture isn’t just on display, but experienced.

What does it take to find your voice when three people are deciding if it’s “ready”?

That’s the question I kept coming back to during the Great Rivers Biennial artist + juror panel and it’s the one I’d pose to anyone who walked away from that conversation still thinking about it.

Sitting across from artists Vaughn Terrell Davis Jr., Lauren dela Roche, and Vincent Stemmler, and jurors Leslie Hewitt, Margot Norton, and Pavel Pyś, moderated by Dean Daderko, I kept noticing the same tension underneath every answer: artists talking about articulation as something they’re still discovering in real time, and jurors talking about calibration as something they’re constantly recalibrating to the artist, not imposing on them.

So, how do jurors actually tune their eye to an artist’s language instead of expecting the artist to speak theirs? And how do artists hold onto their own voice when the pressure to “perform” clarity is sitting right across the table?

I don’t think there’s one answer. That’s what made the hour go by so fast.

If you missed it, the 12th edition of the Great Rivers Biennial is still very much worth experiencing in person and conversations like this one are exactly why guest experience work, for me, is really about building space for questions like that to even get asked.

Why the red hat? ⛑️

This November, I’m bringing my son Mars into the world. While our team was building a living archive out of recipes, records, and family photographs, I was home preparing for a memento of my own, the kind that outlasts any single evening.

It felt fitting, in a strange way. A House of Memory asked what makes a house last. For me, right now, the answer is walking in on two feet and about to be here.

To my team: thank you for holding the room, holding the vision, and holding each other so steady that the work never missed a beat without me there. I felt every bit of it from home.

Act I continues without me in the photos, but not without me in the gratitude.

10/03/2026

“A House of Memory” Act I, was made possible by every person who entered the room, brought a record, shared a story, tasted something familiar, contributed a House Card, or simply allowed themselves to reflect.

Thank you to Atlanta Design Festival for creating space for this work under the 2026 theme, “Make It Last”. Thank you to TVS Design for opening your studio and helping us explore the invisible architecture of home: food, ritual, sound, memory, hospitality, and shared time.

Deep gratitude to Chef Gerard “Gee” Mitchell and his culinary team for bringing heart, family history, and culinary memory to the table; Hailey Wilkins and the TVS team for shaping the architectural exhibition and spatial experience; Stefan Ringer for giving our collective memories a soundtrack; Sydney and Dre for holding capturing and hosting the archive with care. Thank you to every artist, collaborator, producer, photographer, designer, volunteer, and partner who helped make the vision tangible. If I’m missing anyone please call it out and forgive me.

Most importantly, thank you to every guest. You were not simply an audience, you became part of the living archive. Your vinyl records, photographs, recipes, reflections, food traditions, and memories helped answer the question at the center of the evening:

What makes a house last?

Act I has ended, but the archive and the conversation continues.

Tonight’s frames belong to Andre Buchanan (Dre), an Atlanta-based documentary and portrait photographer capturing A House of Memory as it unfolds. His work moves between street photography, portraiture, and documentary projects, with an eye for the candid moment over the posed one.

His images, alongside archival work from Sydney Pegues, will come together in a zine documenting tonight. Pickup location will be sent by email once ready, with limited prints offered.

Guests, you’re part of the archive too. Check your email for the upload link and add a photo of your own memories to the archival presentation that will be on display during the event.

Chef and digital designer, Gerard is the culinary voice of A House of Memory, where family recipes and culinary tradition are treated as what they have always been: living forms of design. Every ingredient carries a story, and he plans to let you taste a few of them.

He arrives here fresh from the Atlanta Food & W**e Festival, and his next move is a capsule supper club. Keep an eye on his page for updates as it takes shape. And if you are in Atlanta, come find him and sit at his table before the year is out

Come support. Come commune. Come as you’ve known yourself.

Parking instructions will be sent via ticket holder emails, September 29, 5PM to 8PM, at TVS Design, 11200 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta.

We can’t wait to see you all!

beyond the moment it captures?

Meet Sydney Pegues (syd), a mixed-media artist and archivist from Rex, Georgia, joining A House of Memory as our archival specialist

Sydney brings original photography, family archives, magazine clippings, textured paper, and organic materials together to create Afrosurrealist dreamscapes. Shaped by growing up in a rural town south of Atlanta, her work moves between ancestor veneration and self-exploration, placing distorted silhouettes within deconstructed landscapes that challenge the boundaries of the natural world.

At A House of Memory, Sydney’s archival perspective helps us think about the photographs, objects, and stories we keep, and how they might speak across generations. Come add your own memory to the conversation.

September 29, 5PM to 8PM, at TVS Design, Atlanta. Link in Bio!
