barcelona, Friday morning, 11am

a founder messages me about his rebrand, the third one in two years as he wants it "more refined, more polished and more premiumlooking."

shows me the current site and it's already the most refined ai company site i've seen this week. It had a clean type, generous spacing, off white background and a lowercase logo.

it looks expensive and it tells me nothing about what they do.

polish is not always the problem, he has a positioning problem dressed as a design problem.

a fourth rebrand will not fix it and another color palette will not fix it, nicer typography will not fix it.

if you keep rebranding and the gap is still there, the gap is not visual.

brands get so focused on looking premium that they accidentally become invisible

One of my favorite recent projects I worked on was with Boop, where I helped lead content creation, TikTok strategy, video editing, motion design, copywriting, community engagement, creator sourcing, and social growth strategy.

A huge focus for me was building content that felt platform native and story driven rather than overly branded. From content systems in Notion to hook strategy, retention focused editing, analytics reporting, and creator collaborations, this project really blended both the creative and strategic side of what I love doing.

I also helped shape content around travel storytelling, audience engagement, and scalable social systems designed for growth across short form platforms.

Excited to finally share more of the work behind the scenes.
