BAND-AID Brand had rebranded their hydrocolloid based bandages with a new name, packaging, and ad campaign. I led our creative team in making assets that promotes the product and educates consumers amplifying their primary advertising campaign at retail.

We created “how-to” videos, product display page assets, and a digital toolkit to assist marketers in execution. The work is used in most major US online retailers including Walmart and Amazon. This included adaptation for French Canadian markets as well.

Additionally, I wrote and filmed the how-to videos, photographed lifestyle images for the product display page assets, and oversaw retouching of the primary ad campaign’s static photography.

A few examples of social media work my team created for TYLENOL, many taking inspiration from IG reels and TikTok trends at the time. Collaborating on ideas with clients I led the production of each video — photographing, filming, illustrating, animating and editing the work ourselves with occasional assistance from a 3rd party production team. These videos would be used for TYLENOL’s Instagram and TikTok accounts.

Between February and May 2025 our work resulted in a 315% increase in reach and 375% increase in engagement for TYLENOL’s social media channels.

A company that’s been a trusted brand in shoe care for over 110 years we had a special task of introducing KIWI to a new generation of shoe enthusiasts with the launch of their newly repackaged sneaker care products.

We targeted a key demo of shoe enthusiast that ranged from office casual sneaker wearers to hardcore sneaker collectors. I designed the key art, logo, digital and print assets, along with employee training material. Working with a 3D team, we created product displays and a sales kit package.

I oversaw a team of retouchers and production artists to ensure accurate key lining and mechanicals. I also created a branding style guide for local market executions.

Distinguishing them from a highly competitive market we evolved KIWI with a look and feel that felt fresh while strongly connected to their established brand positioning this 110 year old company to the forefront of sneaker care.

Effie award winner

I helped create McDonald’s first ever social media-based sweepstakes. McDonald’s tasked us to leverage Coca-Cola’s partnership with late night talk show host James Corden and use their owned social media channels to help lift Summer soft drink sales at McDonald’s. It was a fun and unique challenge combining the brands of McDonalds, Coca-Cola, and James Corden into a single promotion.

Inspired by The Late Late Show’s “Carpool Karaoke” (and my own love of karaoke) we developed a themed sweepstakes that was executed online and in-store. Participants entered by posting photos or video selfies of themselves “singing” with the specially designed cup and using the sweepstakes hashtag. Winners received a free trip to California and watch a filming of The Late Late Show. We enlisted the help of celebrity musicians such as Selena Gomez, Christina Milian, and Andra Day to promote the sweepstakes through their channels.

I had the idea of putting a microphone graphic on a cup for participants to take selfie videos and photos with it. I made a proof-of-concept video to help sell the idea to the clients. We wanted to encouraging organic, user-generated content.

I created the key visuals, led the photoshoot, and directed a team of designers, editors and animators in creating retail communication. I also oversaw the creation of assets for both US and Canadian French translations and production of keyline files for all print assets.

The sweepstakes was highly engaging with 708m organic social media impressions, 25k+ entries, a bronze Effie award, and a 60% lift in soft drink sales (YOY), the largest annual increase of Coca-Cola product at McDonald‘s.

I had the opportunity to create social media content for Pop-Tarts. Tasked with leveraging Pop-Tarts’ loyal fanbase with humorous and trendy posts I created work for their owned channels that includes Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Threads.

Creating a mix of organic, paid and agile content I used almost every skill in my wheelhouse (design, writing, photography, illustration, video, and animation) to make these, delivering work adhering to best practices for each media channel. Most of the videos were filmed, animated and edited by me. A few were created by a production company that I directed.

We increased engagement by targeting and entertaining their loyal customers. And we obtained new customers, increasing awareness through paid ads with quick and simple messaging.

I helped KIWI refresh their brand presence at retail. We gave customers the feeling of empowerment using assertive language and visuals tailored to the meticulous and clean, fashion-minded shopper. This was executed across a wide range of retailers from big-box stores such as Walmart and Meijer to traditional trade stores in US, European, and African markets. Assets were made for both online and physical retail.

I worked with a team of 3D artists, retouchers and designers in the development of all assets. I also oversaw the work of production artists and printers in the production of the KIWI sales kits. Lastly, I wrote and designed an easy-to-use execution guide used to adapt the campaign across various global markets.

The campaign was huge success resulting in a 27.8% lift in annual sales, the largest number of sales in four years growing the brand 16.6% in 2019.

I helped refresh Samsung’s home theater presence at retail. Adhering to an established look and feel we updated merchandising graphics with new product models and features along with refreshed copy and visuals. Backed by research and strategy we were able to push Samsung’s branding forward increasing their use of lifestyle photography and shifting their home theater messaging from “feature-led” to “feeling-led” for their higher end models.

A high volume of graphics needed to be updated throughout multiple big-box stores that included Best Buy, Costco, Target, and more, each with their own unique specifications.

I led a team of art directors, retouchers, and production artists to deliver graphics with cohesive branding and communication across all retailers.

Baygon, an international pest control company, wanted to evolve their brand with humor and light heartedness. The work would be used in markets across Africa, Europe, and Latin America.

I helped develop messaging and a visual style that goes beyond their typical, “stock photo” family feel setting them apart from their competition (other insecticide brands AND traditional pest control methods). Working with a photographer we created a library of assets that highlight the absurdity of using methods such as newspapers and flip-flops over Baygon.

I led a team of art directors and 3D designers to create digital assets and physical retail displays. I also wrote a style guide for global execution.

This resulted in a whopping 27.5% lift in annual sales and 70% growth of overall OFF! product sales at Walmart.
