Social media strategy & content creation

Ideas people watch.
Content they share.

I turn real personalities, products, and everyday moments into social content—from the first hook to the final edit.

A local wine and live-music venue, brought to life through staff personalities, approachable wine education, and audience participation.

The creative approach

Built recurring formats that turn product knowledge into natural conversation: “Red Flag or Green Flag,” “Wine Icks,” and “Pick One, Lose One Forever.” Each series gives viewers an easy way to join in.

My contribution

Concepts, scripts, behind-camera prompts, on-site filming, DJI microphone audio, CapCut editing, video covers, captions, and publishing. I shaped footage into repeatable short-form formats while preserving each speaker’s personality.

How I work

Strategy through execution
01

Find the story

Understand the brand, the audience, and the goal. Build a concept around a clear hook and a reason to keep watching.

02

Make it feel natural

Film real conversations and purposeful moments. Edit for clarity, pace, personality, and each platform’s format.

03

Learn from the response

Review reach, engagement, and audience feedback. Use what resonates to improve the next concept and build repeatable series.
