Noel Raimondi

Strategic Creative Designer
LinkedIn
- Noel.Raimondi@pra.com
After fifteen years in Fashion working for companies such as Women’s Wear Daily + Karen Kane, I decided to throw my hat in the ring to try my hand in the world of luxury events.
Not only did it challenge me, but it also sharpened my skills as a designer, and it married my love of fashion with something bigger, better, and more challenging.

After almost four years at Kehoe Designs, every design and on-site experience gave my heart a thud in nervousness. But, as my mentor explained (and I paraphrase) — that’s not actual fear, it is adrenaline of sorts that the “show” must be perfect in the eyes of the designer (me).

Three years ago, I took a seat at PRA’s Centralized Creative table and have had the pleasure of designing events all over the Country. Methodically bringing the design process into every event I design. Seamlessly marrying my luxury event background into the corporate world.

My eye curates and fixates over every single detail and that is what challenges me to push the limits to create each and every time I step into the world of design.

Noel Raimondi

Strategic Creative Designer
LinkedIn
- Noel.Raimondi@pra.com
After fifteen years in Fashion working for companies such as Women’s Wear Daily + Karen Kane, I decided to throw my hat in the ring to try my hand in the world of luxury events.
Not only did it challenge me, but it also sharpened my skills as a designer, and it married my love of fashion with something bigger, better, and more challenging.

After almost four years at Kehoe Designs, every design and on-site experience gave my heart a thud in nervousness. But, as my mentor explained (and I paraphrase) — that’s not actual fear, it is adrenaline of sorts that the “show” must be perfect in the eyes of the designer (me).

Three years ago, I took a seat at PRA’s Centralized Creative table and have had the pleasure of designing events all over the Country. Methodically bringing the design process into every event I design. Seamlessly marrying my luxury event background into the corporate world.

My eye curates and fixates over every single detail and that is what challenges me to push the limits to create each and every time I step into the world of design.

Adaptable and calm under pressure, Tracy knows that live events often come with surprises. With a strong eye for logistics and a plan B (and C) always in her back pocket, she ensures that every event feels effortless for guests, no matter what happens behind the scenes.
