Charlotte Russe relaunched Refuge denim, a previously discontinued line that was brought back by popular demand. The relaunch, for which I was creative lead, included in-store and window marketing, a social media campaign, and new packaging for all denim fits (waistband descriptions, fit stickers, size stickers, and matchbooks).
The Be Beautiful campaign was a partnership between Charlotte Russe and St. Jude Children's Hospital. I designed all Be Beautiful assets, which were employed in Charlotte Russe stores nationwide.

Wells Fargo hired me to elevate its social media presence by creating a positive, on-brand, and cohesive experience, especially with owned social. Beyond collaborating with the social strategy and design teams, I often directed (and captured) video and photography to create content. Some of the most stand-out posts are excerpted here.
The goal of this campaign was to increase awareness of Wells Fargo’s “Your Home Matters” website by engaging current and potential mortgage customers through owned social media. I was the creative lead on the project, worked directly with social strategy to develop all content, and personally captured a majority of the visuals while working remotely during the pandemic.
Wells Fargo has long been an active supporter of the LGBTQ community. Although the pandemic resulted in the cancellation of various Pride events across the country, Wells Fargo remained committed to commemorating Pride despite COVID-related logistical obstacles presented by stay-at-home mandates. To that end, I concepted and created owned social posts that incorporated on-brand imagery I captured while working from home and repurposed existing Pride-related visuals. These posts received high engagement and positive reactions across all platforms.
