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.

Built this as a video-first social strategy, not just content: Check it out

For Deakin & Francis the focus was simple, turn heritage into something people actually stop and watch.

Shifting from static to story-led video meant: – Stronger brand presence – Higher engagement – Content that shows the craftsmanship, not just tells it

Video isn’t extra anymore, it’s the backbone of how people discover and connect with brands.

This is the kind of work I want to keep doing: Strategy-led, story-driven and built to perform.
