Chaski Global

Introducing Meirra McChristian, our new Production Assistant, joining the Chaski team to support the full range of virtual and in-person events that bring our work to life. As our programming grows, we're building a team that's as detail-oriented as it is creative and Meirra embodies both. A graduate of James Madison University's School of Media Arts and Design with a concentration in Creative Advertising, Meirra brings a sharp eye and a multidisciplinary foundation to everything she touches. Her academic background spans political science and honors coursework, and her creative practice runs deep. She’s been working with cameras and photography for over a decade, moving fluidly between digital, film, and graphic design.

When HRH King Charles visited the U.S. in 2015, we had the honor of organizing an event with The Presidential Precinct to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration . Bringing together 40 global leaders meant navigating complex logistics, coordinating high-level security, and mastering royal protocol along the way. A defining moment for our team—and one we’re still proud to have helped bring to life. UK Home Office

At Chaski Global, we believe real experience shapes real talent. We take pride in being named a Top Virginia employee for Internship Excellence for another year. Thank you to the State Council of Higher Education for the honor. By offering hands-on learning, mentorship, and meaningful access to leadership, we support Virginia’s growing talent pipeline. Today, we’re spotlighting Maya Coggeshall, one of our incredible interns, and the impact of investing in the next generation.

We are excited to introduce Ahna See, our Creative Director, joining Lauren Worth as we continue expanding our Creative team. As our work grows in scale and complexity, we’re investing deeply in the creative leadership that brings clarity and cohesion to every brand we touch. Ahna is the visionary behind many of the brands and experiences we bring to life, balancing intuition and structure, pairing bold ideas with thoughtful, strategic execution. Her background spans agency, freelance, and in-house leadership roles, including directing creative for large-scale e-commerce and fan engagement platforms such as Live Nation Entertainment. Whether collaborating with developers or translating big-picture strategy into meaningful visuals, she ensures every detail strengthens the larger story. We’re so grateful for the creativity, collaboration, and calm confidence she brings to our clients—and to our growing team—every day.

This season has been filled with pitches, launches, and brand-building — from helping founders prepare to take the stage, to shaping the story behind companies coming to life. If there’s one thing that stands out through it all, it’s this: Your brand is a reflection of who you are. Create it. Build it. Own it. And make sure it reflects your values, your purpose, and your vision — not just what you sell. It’s why Chaski Global came to be. Whether it’s a startup preparing for investors or a nonprofit seeking to deepen trust, we believe the story and intention behind a brand open doors that strategy alone cannot. A few insights from Startup World Cup that all tie back to branding: • Lorie Greiner, Shark Tank – Consistency is everything. • Meera Clark, Redpoint Ventures – Trust is the real differentiator. • Vanessa Larco, Premise Capital – Details matter. • Sophia Luo , Greylock Partners – Excitement is contagious; believe in your story. Too few companies invest in their brand and story — and it shows when you see who is memorable. If you’re ready to make the complex clear, we’d love to help.
