About Me
At heart, I'm a problem solver, that's what drives me in business. Whether it is novel solutions to annoying problems or designing robust business models, I find myself most engaged when I am at the crossroads of amazing products and cutting-edge technology. My background in Brand Design, Social Media Management, Cinematography, and Sales mean that Marketing is often just the start of what I do, and I excel at examining and improving business models, from prototyping products to getting them shipped right to your door!
Turning your Brand into Business
As an aspiring content creator, doing what you love is the simple part, but creating products to connect with your fans can be a challenge. Working with you, I can plan and build creations that provide new ways to connect with your fans all the while building income to support your projects!
What I do
When it comes to digital marketing, my skills are best put to use in two important areas:
Social Media Management & Branding
These days it isn't just about what you do on one app, but all of them! Cross-platform content distribution always comes with a lot of headache, but careful planning can allow you to focus on what you love and reap the rewards of being seen on places like Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube!
Websites & Storefronts
Everything you do has to be exciting, and an online store is no exception! A digital storefront can show your fans what they want to see and make it easy for them to find exactly what they want!
GoatDraw Goes International
South Korean Artist and Illustrator @GoatDraw wanted to create Branded Merchandise that tailored to their Fan's interest in their work and sell them internationally. Unfortunately, a large majority of their fanbase is within the U.S., and they only had experience selling at small conventions, through in-person sales.
Working with them, I prototyped designs for branded merchandise, eventually settling on a large desk mat. With his approval, I procured a manufacturer and prepared an online storefront. After initial pre-sales I coordinated international shipping and distribution to their many happy fans!
D-Floe's Designs
Austin based Designer @D_Floe wanted to capture a variety of interests of his fans within a single collection and was interested in selling numerous specific items of a variety of characters and designs. Despite having sold through a digital storefront before, 'D-Floe' was unsure how to group and brand the items together to entice fans to purchase a bundle instead of a single item.
First examining his lineup of characters and designs, I worked to identify popularity metrics using data from his social media, and coordinate a product spread that placed the most in-demand characters in the most expensive items.
