Social media strategy & content creation

Ideas people watch.
Content they share.

I develop the ideas, get behind the camera, edit the footage, and manage the socials. My work connects creative strategy with hands-on production—and has generated 100M+ organic views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Inside the work

Streams, studio sessions & live moments
In the room, through the rollout

Content starts with being close to the story.

I created the Twitch stream ideas as well as the social video concepts, turning studio sessions, outings, and live moments into opportunities for content and audience engagement. These excerpts show the creative environment behind that work.

I handled the full social content process: ideation, filming, editing, hooks, captions, publishing, and account management. I also shaped stream concepts and promoted the livestreams through social content and clips.
