About me

I have always been passionate about storytelling. I have been writing, shooting and editing films since middle school. I made 3 short films in high school, one of which was nominated for 4 awards. Over the course of these films, I have spent countless hours improving my skills as a writer. My sense of story structure and writing something memorable that moves people has continued to get better. These skills proved valuable to me when I took a copywriting class in college. I was able to use my storytelling skills to generate copy which could efficiently convey the client’s need while also suggesting a story and in turn, being memorable.




copywriting work

Some of the campaigns I’ve worked on:

UPLIFT EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

A social media campaign for Uplift Education done in collaboration with the Dallas agency, Commerce House. The goal of the campaign was to convey how a charter school like Uplift Education can set your child up for future success. Me and my partner came up with the idea to use yearbook captions to show how a child grows when they go through an Uplift Education school. These are 3 social media posts we came up with. Uplift will be using these with photos of real students this upcoming semester.

FOOD NETWORK CAMPAIGN

This was a group assignment for an advertising class. The goal of the campaign was to promote all the competitive baking shows on the Food Network. I wrote these lines of copy based on the extensive research and insights gathered by my team.

Creative Brief

Final Concept 2

soul foods india Name and LOGO

I designed this logo and helped come up with the name for this business. Since the business had such a long name, I decided to put the India in the L to make it more compact. Since it is an Indian store, i also decided to incorporate colors of the Indian Flag into the design. The client now has a trademark for this logo and has incorporated it on all facets of their business.
