Terrelle Powell isn’t just a founder and CEO; he’s a visionary who transformed a passion project into a thriving business. His journey is a testament to the power of seizing unexpected opportunities and building a legacy from the ground up.
It all began in 2018, while Terrelle was an architecture student at The Spitzer School of Architecture at City College. When his friends in the event planning industry needed custom props for their projects, Terrelle, with his keen eye for design and knack for construction, stepped up to help. What started as a simple favor quickly evolved into a side hustle, a way to earn a little extra money while honing his craft. He began showcasing his creations on Instagram, and soon, his unique, custom-made props caught the attention of other event planners across New York City.
After graduating in 2019 with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Terrelle found himself at a crossroads. Unsure of his next move, he took some time to reflect before landing a job as a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machinist. While the world navigated the challenges of the pandemic, Terrelle continued to work on his passion projects on the side. When event restrictions began to lift, the demand for his custom props surged, transforming his side hustle into a full-fledged business opportunity.
Seizing this moment, Terrelle officially established PS Event Decor as an LLC in February 2021, and the very next month, he made the courageous decision to leave his job as a Machinist to dedicate himself to his company full-time.
Today, PS Event Decor is a premier event prop and decor rental and sales company, specializing in high-quality, handcrafted pieces for a wide range of events. From photoshoots and weddings to birthday parties, corporate events, and activations, their designs add a touch of custom flair to any occasion.
What sets PS Event Decor apart is their commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Every single prop is designed and built in-house, ensuring a meticulous attention to detail that you simply can’t find anywhere else. While they offer a wide inventory of unique pieces for rent, they also specialize in creating custom props for other event professionals looking to expand their own collections.
Terrelle’s journey from architecture student to successful entrepreneur is an inspiring story of skill, determination, and a passion for bringing creative visions to life.
