Meet Matthew

Hello!

I am Matthew Merina, a vibrant 23-year-old born and raised in Salem, Oregon, I embarked on an adventurous journey when I spent two years in Lynchburg, Virginia, and then 2 summers in Texas working as a camp counselor. During my middle school days, i discovered my passion for event planning by organizing Christmas parties, end-of-the-year celebrations, and birthday bashes for friends and family. This spark of creativity blossomed as I continued to refine my skills after high school. By the winter of 2024, I launched Crosscreek & Co., turning my childhood passion into a booming business that infuses playfulness and joy into every event I curate.
