HELLO, DENTSU FRIENDS! ✨
I am a digital and social creative with years of experience as an Associate Creative Director, leading teams for Adobe alongside agency partners. I have contributed to key initiatives, including the launch of Adobe Firefly, engaging Gen Z audiences, increasing mobile app downloads, and more.
With a proven track record of leading creative teams and developing digital and social content for top brands like TikTok, Anheuser-Busch, and Las Vegas—and as an avid Adobe user since age 12—this opportunity feels like a cosmic calling.
Armed with a laser-focused vision for the brand and a knack for streamlining processes, I’m ready to be the Command+G among the performance team’s layers, ensuring stellar creative work.
Cool, now let’s dive into it. ↓
Three years as creative director for
ADOBE SOCIAL CAMPAIGNS
ABOUT ADOBE NEWSROOM
Newsroom is an internal social franchise at Adobe where a mix of organic, evergreen, and trending content flourish across their various channels. As creative director/creator within this social team, my responsibilities have encompassed overseeing visual content, providing leadership to design teams, cultivating collaborations with top-tier influencers, and maintaining the creative point of view in content creation across Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter(I refuse to call it X). Going beyond post creation, I've formulated successful social strategies, harnessed the momentum of viral trends, orchestrated social-first launches for Adobe's latest products, and ensured repeatable processes to maintain brand values and benchmarks.

PHOTOSHOP EXPRESS LAUNCH ✨
The Photoshop Express team challenged us to reshape their Instagram presence and align the brand with Gen Z creators crafting culture, rather than imitating it.
Using Photoshop Express, we invited impossible imagery artists to inspire creativity and app downloads. Our content emphasized shared moments, lifestyle aspirations, and individual expression while tapping into Gen Z trends and narratives.
The results were outstanding: a 291% follower increase, 122% higher engagement, 761% more social interactions, and a strengthened position for Photoshop Express in Gen Z culture.
