## About

```text
At Oxygen8, I built the in-house video and production department from the ground up, establishing equipment, workflows, and creative standards for campaigns, product launches, and digital content. My video, photography, and motion graphics work contributed to 75% LinkedIn growth and 35% Instagram growth during my tenure.

I created and hosted the “Building Healthy” podcast from concept through distribution. I also contributed design and motion graphics direction for an immersive brand activation at Area 15, supporting the creative and production team from concept through delivery.

At Fortinet, I built an in-house live-action video and photography studio for global marketing and executive communications, then produced brand and product videos with engineering and product teams. Across my work in creative production, communications, and independent practice, I’ve developed workflows and creative work for brands, campaigns, and content.
