As the Branded Content & Design Lead

(See branded content portfolio!)

Dell Technologies, NVIDIA, and Intel were our key festival partners. I coordinated with their marketing teams to create visuals representing their brands for overall festival presence, marketed their in-person workshops, sponsored awards, and giveaways.

Most recently, I created a branded short-form educational video series for them titled 'Dell Technologies & NVIDIA Present Creator School.' See here.

Our 'Creator School' episodes featured industry professionals from Stareable’s roster of festival speakers. One example was Emmy-Winning producer Michael Melamedoff (‘The Problem with Apu’), who is a partner at the production house CowboyBearNinja. I coordinated with CowboyBearNinja’s social media team on episode polish, approval, and release scheduling.

Dell Technologies and NVIDIA partnered with us on 'Cafe Stareable,' a virtual workshop series taught by the largest creators in the digital production space. I coordinated with SoKrispy Media, a production house (known for HBO's 'The Last of Us' and 'Mr. Beast's Squid Game'), and YouTube tech channel SavageGeese, with over 200 million views, on marketing and visual elements for their workshops.

I worked closely with AMC Networks on programming and marketing their sponsored award, The AMC Networks Best Female Creator Award. I was responsible for ideating the initial visual direction and coordinating the rollout with AMC’s team, helping create the marketing assets, and curating projects for nomination.

I worked with the Stareable team on packaging and distributing 35 original series on The Roku Channel. My primary role was creating graphics for thumbnails/key art and social media marketing announcements.

We had several festival partnerships with VIZIO that involved me editing video content and creating sizzles for integration into the “VIZIO Tour Bus” and various displays. Additionally, I created marketing graphics for VIZIO’s sponsored award: Best Culinary Adventure Show.

Created early marketing visuals for Sony Pictures Television’s First Look Deal with Stareable.

Stareable is represented by UTA, one of the largest entertainment agencies in the world. I created a sizzle reel of Stareable Studios projects (Official Selections signed to package/shop around) for TV Upfronts.

Visually representing the listed brands at our festivals and sponsored-after parties in both physical and digital design assets such as interstitials, step-and-repeats, banners, and monitors/displays.

In the games industry:

I’m the Writer and Narrative Designer for AdWorld, an interactive mixed-media narrative and massively customizable Character Creation game — a poignant satire of digital consumerism. We collaborated with Coinbase and Build on Base as part of the ‘Onchain Summer’ festival. AdWorld showcased at Miami Art Basel.

Story consultant for MUIFWEGO, an independent games studio in New York focusing on modern multiplayer and adventure games. I developed early story content (characters & dialogue) for 'ALL-STATE,' a PlayStation platformer about graffiti/bombing culture.

Collaborating with Fernando Cardozo/Studio Victrix (the studio behind ‘La Chica Flor’) on ‘Caz & The Bag,’ a branching visual novel about international student experiences in New York—the fears, discourse, and laughs my community shared, and how we built a home while navigating extreme surveillance.

Showcased my independent games as part of the Microsoft NYC Games Expo to representatives from Rockstar Games ('Grand Theft Auto') and Avalanche Studios ('Just Cause'), and received one-on-one feedback.

As the Writer and Narrative Design Lead at Simple Machine

(Full games portfolio!)

During development of our mobile game ‘Infinite Jonathans,’ we secured a licensing deal with AdMagic’s Breaking Games to adapt elements of the ‘Jonathans’ IP into a physical card/party game, ‘Infinite Jonathans: The Card Game.’

I conceived and wrote the game’s stories, characters, and events in our digital game. I curated those characters and events from the digital game to appear as cards in our physical game and assisted in developing early prototypes. Furthermore, I wrote the original pitch copy we sent to AdMagic.

‘Infinite Jonathans: The Card Game’ was available on shelves at Barnes & Noble physical locations and online at Amazon and Walmart

Simple Machine’s rhythm game ‘Pop-The-Lock’ was a chart-topper on the App Store. I worked on brand voice, in-game flavor text, copy, and QA/iteration.

As Apple was gearing up to launch Apple Arcade, they connected with our studio to pitch exclusive titles for their new platform. I created prototypes/pitches for early development with Apple Arcade.

I helped with copy and QA to port titles to international storefronts through Tencent.

‘Pop-The-Lock’ has physical arcade machines at Dave & Buster’s across America.
