Tara LaBonnae Kea, MS, CMP

LaBonnae Kea was a beautiful soul and was a Production Powerhouse at Abstract Elements for 8 years. She won the hearts and trust of all of Ae’s clients with her astute vision for event cohesion, organization and success. When LaBonnae was not in the front of house running the tech team, she was either working out, cooking delectable vegan foods or glamping! Her legacy will live on through each event we execute.
