I've run paid social for banking clients and built an 80M-stream artist marketing campaign — and I've also toured the country DJing sold-out shows and directing music videos. Same instinct for what makes people stop scrolling, from both sides of the screen.
Music video work directed, shot, and edited for Detroit rap artist Lelo. Click a frame to switch the player.
"Not a party video. A fashion film set at a party."
A modern Detroit house party built around one rule: Lelo carries his own warm key light through every room he walks into, while the environment around him keeps shifting into deep, saturated, cool-toned color pools. He's the one constant; everything around him changes — the fashion-film logic and the narrative logic doing the same job at once. Planned and run as a full two-day production, with a dedicated lighting concept for every room and the haze finale held back and protected until the very last block of the shoot.
From banking to a Detroit rap label to a high-end fashion house — the throughline is content, video, and brand strategy.
Oversaw social media for banking clients using organic and paid methods. Created content across Instagram, X, YouTube and TikTok, designed marketing materials, managed Facebook/Instagram campaigns, and worked with account managers to turn client objectives into measurable social results.
Boosted visibility and attracted hires through Google, TikTok, and YouTube. Managed the brand's social media accounts, filmed and edited the company podcast, produced viral short-form content for the brand, and contributed to design projects across the company.
Branding, marketing, content, and design for an NFT project — a lifestyle brand built around a minted car-art collection. Created and ran a managed Discord and led community management across multiple channels, growing the brand organically on TikTok and Instagram to 500K+ views within a year.
Rising Detroit rap artist (PBS-featured, national performances). Built the artist marketing strategy behind 80M+ streams across Spotify, Apple Music and SoundCloud, and produced the viral short-form content and music videos in the reel above — see Featured Reel ↑.
Full rebrand of a recording studio into a co-op-style creative space — new name, brand story, and logo, promoted across social channels.
"At colLABorate Studios, our name is a tribute to the visionary spirit of the 1960s — a modern-day studio that embodies the essence of collaboration."
Ran the recording studio's social presence across TikTok, Instagram and X, maintained the website through a CMS, and built SEO tactics and campaigns that led to more studio bookings.
I'm also a touring producer & DJ — two sold-out US tours opening for Lelo, plus sets at Boiler Room, Rolling Loud, and Summerfest. Same instinct for pacing and audience energy that shapes the edits and campaigns above, just tested live in front of a crowd instead of in analytics.
