💻Meet Christina Kassi, AFE’s resident Greek girl and Director of Design & Technology—part of the team since 2012! 🎨She works at the intersection of creativity and systems—balancing design, branding, websites, and tech solutions to keep every detail aligned. 📸Her role in three words? Creative, Strategic, Collaborative. 🎞️As a cinephile and photography lover, Christina draws inspiration from film, composition, and quiet details that tell a story. 🍋Her go-to AFE favorite? White Fish Ceviche. A forever classic. 👯‍♀️If she could host any guests at an AFE event, it’d be Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen—design icons and lifelong muses. ✨One word that best describes her? Intentional.

AFE was proud to cater the Spring 2025 Designer Dinner hosted by @papercityhouston and @benjaminmoore during Round Top’s antique show season. The Halles was transformed for “Blue & White Night,” an evening of design, conversation, and celebration honoring Aerin Lauder and Mark D. Sikes. A stunning setting, an inspired guest list, and a night to remember—we were honored to be part of it.

We had the pleasure of catering day two of the @emergeeventcollective retreat education event in our city—an energizing day devoted to connection, culture, and professional growth within our industry! Hosted at the stunning @lotthallhtx, the event featured bold, meaningful design and thoughtful dialogue led by inspiring voices in the event community. It was a celebration of creativity and coming together! As we mark 40 years in business, we’re especially proud to support gatherings like this—where collaboration and shared purpose take the spotlight. Cheers to building a stronger, more connected future for all event professionals.
