Bring me an idea, I’ll bring you possibilities.

Every project tells a story. Moving with humility, ambition, and morality is mine.

These are the stories I’m proud of: the ones where strategic planning blends with creativity, where logistics easily backed vision, and where ideas became reality. Each case study is a glimpse into how I work, think, and build for greater impact.

Take a look at what’s possible when you think limitlessly and move with intentionality.

No Label Academy, Harvard University.

2021, 2023

No Label Academy (NLA) is a 10-day music business masterclass focused on giving creatives an opportunity to gain the education, network, and skills to thrive in the music industry.

As the head of operations, we were responsible for overseeing the application process, curriculum mapping, event scheduling, and managing sponsorship deliverables. It was rare to find a piece of the puzzle that CDC didn’t touch.

NLA is a labor of love and the inception of Caitlyn Duff Consulting.
