1. Overview This reel reframes social media strategy by emphasizing targeted community building over vanity follower metrics. The video challenges creators and brands to focus on attracting their ideal customer persona rather than accumulating high follower counts that don't convert into revenue.
2. Goals
Shift brand focus from vanity metrics (follower count) to conversion-driven metrics (audience quality and engagement).
Explain why smaller, dedicated communities (e.g., 8,000 highly engaged followers) generate more revenue than large, passive audiences (e.g., 200,000 unengaged followers).
Drive engagement by positioning targeted content creation as the key to stronger hooks, relatable messaging, and seamless sales.
3. Challenges
Overcoming the widespread perception that higher follower counts automatically equate to business success.
Maintaining fast-paced visual interest while explaining conceptual marketing and audience positioning strategies.
Seamlessly blending on-camera presenter delivery with animated graphic overlays and text transitions.
4. Solution & Outcome
Solution: Used a dynamic outdoor presenter walkthrough paired with bold text overlays, animated graphics, and contrast examples ("Collected Followers vs. Built a Community") to clearly articulate the core strategy.
Outcome: Delivered a high-value educational reel that positions the creator as an expert social media strategist while giving brands an actionable framework to optimize their content for real business outcomes.

A messenger, a browser, and a wallet, built around one idea: that people should own their conversations and their data. The visuals reflect that split, where clean digital color for the system, and hand-drawn touches for the human note passed between two people, still the most private way to say something that matters.
We built a cinematic website for PSP Production, a senior-led film & commercial production company.
Reflection of 25 years of brand history with taste, precision, and premium branding. Pink became the signature of that - bold, unapologetic, impossible to mistake for another company’s website.

That pink really gives it a strong identity. For a production company with that much history, the bold direction feels like a great way to stand out.
A year ago, I moved from our i18n team at Canva, where I led and supported template campaigns built around cultural insights, local context, and the nuances of how people celebrate, communicate, and create across different locales.
Now, on Growth, my design team's starting point looks different. We work mainly from SEO data, search behavior, and signals around what people are actively looking for 👀
Different insight. Different source. Same creative process: find the signal, ground it in real-world research, understand the person behind it, and turn that understanding into something useful, relevant, and worth creating.
It’s honestly been interesting to see how changing the input can change the output, while the fundamentals of good design stay surprisingly the same.
Here’s a look at what my team has been making so far this year! ✨
