About
Clarence Ma
I design spaces and run the events that fill them. For over a year I coordinated six concurrent building projects in New York, working directly with architects, engineers, contractors, vendors and city officials, and I led an on-site NYC Department of Buildings energy-code audit through to sign-off, on schedule.
Since February 2026 I've run operations for an online community: I lead a five-person management team and a three-person event committee, wrote the playbook every event runs on, and plan and host a monthly online event series from first idea to recap. Before that I designed and taught STEAM workshops at The Giant Room, and I studied Design and Technology at Parsons.
I'm looking for event coordination and production work in New York City, on site or remote.
