TL;DR:
We made learning about NASA astrophysics accessible and fun on social media.
PROJECT: My favorites snippets from the web and social media content I made while at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
TEAM: NASA JPL digital strategy team
ROLE: Concepts, art direction, filming, motion design, video editing, project management, data analysis
RESULTS: This content allowed us to grow NASA’s newest social media account (@NASAUniverse on IG) from 0 to 165k followers in less than a year.
We made innovative effects and creative tools to help users around the world express themselves on TikTok.
PROJECT: My favorites from the 112 effects I worked on over three years on the TikTok User Experience Design team.
TEAM: North America Effects Team / User Experience Design department
ROLE: Concept, art direction, motion design, project management, collaboration with engineering, and QA.
RESULTS: These effects generated millions of user-made videos and billions of video views for the TikTok. Effects enhance the user’s experience and spark creativity.
PROJECT: Even more effects I made, and the unique audiences they targeted.
PROJECT: How do we help users better understand how to use camera effects and tools? A streamlined animated prompt system should do the trick.
PROJECT: Brands come to TikTok to advertise and build engagement.
Some commission custom branded effects to encourage users to post organic content. We helped them refine and execute their concepts for optimal impact on TikTok.
