- 12 Pecha Kuchas in a row 2019 // In 2019 I took on a personal challenge to do a Providence Pecha Kucha every month of the year. The result was 13 unique—hand drawn—presentations on life, work, and being a person. In addition to the twelve I did for Providence, I was invited to participate in Global Pecha Kucha day. As a result, I probably hold multiple world records for number of Pecha Kucha presentations in a year, as well as number of all over Pecha Kucha presentations.
- PechaKucha Providence hosts free monthly events where the Greater Providence community comes together to share ideas, creations, and stories using the PechaKucha format of 20 images that each last 20 seconds.
