Haley Tinkle
Haley Tinkle is an award-winning event planning expert with nearly a decade of experience. She holds the position of Director of Events at Downtown Vision Inc., the business improvement district in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. When she initially joined Downtown Vision, the organization had one signature event, a fundraiser, and two promotional events. Now, after four years of working with DVI, there are three core events: First Wednesday Art Walk, Third Thursday Sip & Stroll, and Jax River Jams, along with two fundraisers, the #DTJax Awards and the #DTJax Gala. Tinkle oversees and plans all of these events, from conceptualization to implementation. Her award-winning events bring together the various neighborhoods of our city to enjoy the heartbeat of our city, Downtown.
Outside of #DTJax, she owns her own photography business, and she and her husband manage a wedding and event venue. Additionally, she operates Chunky and Funky, Girl Crafts, and other fun events all over the urban core.
Haley has a heart for cultivating community. Locally, she volunteers with Amplified Avondale and Riverside, as well as Avondale Preservation. Regionally, she serves on the boards of the Empowered Kitchen as well as the Southeast Festival and Events Association.
When she’s not planning events, she enjoys exploring local thrift and antique shops and spending time with her family, friends, and her fur-babies: Apollo, Chandler, Dolly, Gretchen, and Roux.
