Projects

Social Media Template Creation

Overview 🔎 This project involved creating social media graphic and templates for the IG Feed, Stories, Reels, and LinkedIn for an existing marketing company that was looking to expand their social media following. Together, the Client and I created 18 unique content buckets that could be filled by repurposing existing content from the Client's archive. Problem & Solution 🤝 The Client was looking for a way to consistently share cohesive content on their social platforms. The easiest way to do that was to pre-plan content buckets that align with their company's purpose and messaging.

Short-Form Video Editing and Creation

Short-form video is EVERYWHERE. There is TikTok, Instagram and Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, Snap Spotlight, and I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow another platform is announced. The question becomes: how do you efficiently and effectively create videos for these platforms? And what should you even say? 1) Repurpose content! And batch create content when possible. 2) Educate. Entertain. Relate. Over the past 2 years, I have scripted, edited, packaged, and published 100+ educational, entertainment, and relatable short-form vertical videos. See More
