Forever 21 | Unwrap Your Game

To help bring brand awareness and affinity to Forever 21’s mens brand, 21Men, during the busy holiday period we partnered with LA Lakers’ Nick Young to create a video campaign that connected his charismatic sense of humor and elevated fashion sense with our millennial male audience. By working with an athlete our audience already knew and loved, we were able to put 21Men on the map as a brand young men could covet, while cracking a few cheesy jokes.

The "Unwrap" campaign was created for the holiday season and featured then-couple Nick Young and Iggy Azelea. Nick Young's "Unwrap Your Game" garnished the most industry attention and was featured on USA Today, Sport's Illustrated, ESPN, Yahoo News, and NBC News.

For this campaign, I worked alongside the GCD to concept the overarching story of Forever 21's Holiday campaign and wrote all the copy throughout the various touchpoints (E-Commerce, Marketing, Digital Marketing, Video, Social Media). I also worked with the Video Director to concept, storyboard, and write the script for the campaign videos.

eBay Watches | Sellers' Club

For decades the elite world of luxury watch collecting has been dominated by men, so we decided to flip the script and enlist three badass women in the industry to go in the metal about the timeless timepieces they treasure the most.

For this project, my partner Meg and I developed the concept and story, selected all talent, wrote the script, led visual direction (set dressing, props, styling, etc) and copy direction (soundbites, script, storyline, etc.) on set, and created all assets for the video and social content series.

Verizon Innovation Lab | Website

I was brought on by the Verizon Innovation Labs team to develop copy and content for their website relaunch. To do so, I worked closely with the Lab’s engineers and R&D team, diving deep into complex topics like 5G Private Networks, and Mobile Edge Compute, AI, and more. My goal was to simplify these intricate concepts into clear, engaging copy that resonated with a wider audience. Beyond B2B-focused web content and the script for the teaser video on the homepage, I also created copy for email campaigns, videos, and event materials to help boost brand engagement and connect with key audiences.

A miscellaneous collection of social posts I’ve crafted over the past few years at ClassPass.

OLAY | Beyond the Screen

Wanting to create a campaign with scale and a larger reach, OLAY decided to align with ELLE's annual Women in Television issue. To amplify impressions and social conversation, I selected four diverse actresses of different age ranges to share their stories of beauty both on and off the screen, and what being beautiful means to them. Each actress was paired with a different collection of OLAY products and was asked a unique set of questions on-set to gather insight on the role "beauty" plays in their life and how it transcends far beyond the surface.

For this project I wrote all copy (digital, social, editorial), worked with third-party agencies to book top-tier talent, and scripted the videos.

ClassPass | The Power of ClassPass

During the height of the pandemic, our daily workouts shifted online. But as the world reopened, getting back into a routine felt like a struggle. The Power of ClassPass campaign was created to inspire people to rediscover the joy of movement—whether it’s a favorite studio, a high-energy class, or simply the feeling of being back in the flow. This short commercial and social media ad highlighted the power of routine, the energy of community, and the motivation to move again. Because feeling your best starts with showing up. That’s the power of ClassPass.

ClassPass | Try New Things

To help ClassPass reach new international markets, we created a series of OOH billboards to showcase the app’s benefits.
