Our Team

When not designing memorable events for our clients, our team enjoys supporting our favorite charity, the Humane Rescue Alliance; traveling the country and the world for event inspiration; and, exploring locally-owned farm-to-table neighborhood restaurants.

Elaine Coronado

President + Chief Strategist

The Argus Team is led by Elaine Coronado who moved to Washington, D.C. in 1988 from San Antonio, Texas. Although Elaine enjoys event styling, her client focus is on strategy. She understands that beautiful, fun and captivating events are not successful unless agreed upon goals are satisfied. She managed two non-profit organizations to success leading Hispanic Business to name her one of the Top 100 Influentials in the United States. She is a former board member of the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) at the Kennedy Center; studied art at the Prado Museum; and is a graduate of the National Hispana Leadership Institute.

Kate Talbert

Kate Talbert, an Arkansan, served as an Environmental Attorney before leaving to follow her passion of painting, design, and custom fabrication of staging and props. Kate keeps event branding consistent through her graphic, decor and stage design. She scouts for unique venues, staging ideas, and event technology for clients watching their pennies, but seeking a punch of style. Thanks to Kate’s creativity we are building an inventory of staging and custom items for client use. She serves on-site with production and has been with us since 2013.
