I do cool shit with cool people

I’m Dylan Shinholser. I’ve spent nearly 18 years building, producing, and obsessing over live events.

I’ve owned venues, built event businesses, led production teams, and produced hundreds of events. And after all of that, I’ve realized something about what I actually want to do.

I still love doing the work.

I love getting in the room with a client and figuring out what we’re really trying to accomplish. I love developing the strategy, designing the experience, solving the complicated problems, and finding ways to make an event perform better for the business behind it.

Hell, I still love putting on a headset and calling the show.

That’s why I’ve intentionally kept Red Shoe Presents different.

In the traditional agency model, you often meet the founder, fall in love with their experience, sign a contract, and get handed off to someone else to actually run your event.

That’s just not how I want to operate.

I keep a limited number of clients so I can be personally involved in the work. I bring in the right people, production partners, and resources to execute at whatever scale the event requires. But I’m still there, making decisions, solving problems, and taking ownership of the outcome.

When you hire me, you get me.

You get someone who’s thinking about the bigger picture while paying attention to the details that can make or break an event.

I have no desire to build a massive agency with dozens of account managers and a roster of clients I barely know.

I want to work with cool people, tackle ambitious ideas, and build events that actually move the needle.

I’m not here to build an agency. I’m here to build events.
