About Us

Meet Amelia, Founder and Lead Experience Designer of The Great Surprisal

We are an LGBTQ+ and Woman Owned Small Business

The essence of The Great Surprisal got its start more as a lifestyle, when I was very young. As a little one, I was constantly living in fantasy (what many people these days refer to as #cosplaylife). I used my imagination to navigate everyday happenings and played dress up, choreographed my own music videos and personified the most fabulous stars that I could. As I blossomed into a young adult, I promised myself to never give up on my youthful spirit and now, that commitment has turned into a career!

The official Great Surprisal began in 2014, when our first telegram was delivered to a middle school vice principal (the irony of it all was that I didn’t even sing…I was a mute, very shy bumblebee). Nowadays, in the aftermath of a global pandemic and some monumental life challenges, I am still singing, dancing and harnessing every aspect of my imagination to help people thrive—through team building, event hosting and yes, my favorite service is still those unforgettable singing telegrams.

As humanity navigates a radical shift in consciousness amidst a variety of crises, The Great Surprisal is still my driving force, my fuel, my fire, that keeps me committed to living a life full of joy.

My work will always be rooted in the fact that humans need joy to survive and most especially, to thrive. I look to partner and collaborate with others as a means to explore our most precious and perhaps forgotten, dreams.

The team here at the Great Surprisal continues to work tirelessly for joy. We let our freak flag fly on the daily and we believe you should too. Joy is a gift so we share it.
