Welcome to my social portfolio! Below is a reflection of my freelance work and passion for content creation. Beyond managing campaigns for brands, I’ve been honing my skills by creating and experimenting with content on my own. This space highlights my creativity, strategy, and hands-on approach to social media—always learning, testing, and evolving to stay ahead in the digital landscape.
Social Projects & Initiatives
To boost Esprit's in-house content, I set a dynamic goal: align 30% of Esprit's Instagram feed with engaging native Reels and 30% with impactful static images. This balanced strategy highlighted Esprit’s range and bestsellers, while giving followers a closer look at the styling details and functionality that make each piece special.

At Old Navy, the brand's social strategy focused on amplifying a democratized vision of fashion centered around three core pillars:
✨ Fashion at a Value: bold, on-trend content with sharp, curated visuals that turned heads without breaking the bank.
💙 Brand Love: from witty captions and visuals that capture Old Navy’s irresistible charm, we kept the fun and relatability front & center.
🔥 Cultural Relevance: posts that hit right in the feels, tapping into trends everyone’s talking about.

In 2020, with limited in-house content production, my team at LOFT took a creative leap by partnering with influencers to keep Instagram vibrant and inspiring by showcasing the endless versatility of the brand's most-loved pieces. These collaborations highlighted the brand's new looks to love with a dash of aspiration when it was needed most.

Influencer Projects & Initiatives
Esprit is an iconic brand from the 80s and 90s—despite having a previous US presence, my team's goal was to reintroduce the brand to a younger audience. For Spring 2024, I led a campaign to showcase Esprit's most stylish pieces, driving increased reach and engagement across social channels.

My team spearheaded the production of live shopping events and product-focused Reels in collaboration with influencer @rockybarnes. These Reels were featured on both Instagram and Old Navy’s website, generating approximately $2,000 in sales during each live event and drove an impressive $1 million in additional impressions and sales as the content continued to engage audiences on our site.

Old Navy: Holiday 2022
My team partnered monthly with creators who perfectly embodied the Old Navy brand. For our biggest Holiday campaign to-date, we teamed up with 30 creators who brought our #SorryNotSorry holiday message to life, unapologetically sharing festive hauls in October, wearing Christmas pajamas for any occasion, and even playing their own personal Santa.
