Communications Strategy
Not every audience reads. Not every message lands the same way. Not every idea fits in a caption. A communications strategy earns attention by finding each audience where they already are. Each format in this campaign was chosen for a specific person and a specific moment in their day.
Video & Event Coverage
Event highlight reels and student research spotlights produced for SPA's outreach campaigns. Shot on an iPhone 14 Pro with a gimbal stabilizer and edited on Adobe Premiere pro with branded motion graphics for multi-platform distribution from YouTube to social media shorts. Low budget, intentional framing.

About
I'm a communication strategist and multimedia designer working at the intersection of story, research, and emerging media. Currently pursuing an MA in Emerging Media Design and Development at Ball State University, I develop outreach and communication strategy for Sponsored Projects Administration while building interactive narratives, visual novels, and transmedia experiences. My background in fiction writing and narrative design shapes how I approach every medium. I bring skills across platforms and formats to meet audiences where they are. I'm a published author, an interactive experience designer, and someone who believes transmedia storytelling isn't just a craft — it's a strategy.
