Experience

Inflection Growth
Creative Strategist / Senior DesignerMay 2024 – Apr 2026

Brands I had the pleasure of working with: Kappa USA, OROS, MILKY, Omie, DYPER, AeroPress, Sun Ninja, Kids Art Box

  • Led creative on DTC accounts at a growth agency; depending on the client, that meant brand positioning, paid social, their Shopify store or a mix, and most weeks shipping 3–5 new ad concepts
  • Led most client creative meetings: presented results and the next round of creative, and for new campaigns and product launches directed the visuals and ads end to end or shaped them alongside the client
  • Ran the full testing loop: built angle pillars with a hypothesis for each, wrote the hooks and scripts, edited the ads, then led the Monday creative insights review in Motion to decide what to scale, iterate or cut
  • Took OROS through a full repositioning, from messaging to visual system, ads and a new Shopify theme; the account grew 290% year over year and November sales went from $100K to $1M
  • Redesigned Shopify stores with theme rebuilds and custom product pages; the new OROS product page named the technology before the price, lifting conversion rate 38% and AOV 68%
  • Wrote creative briefs from customer reviews, UGC and ad account data, and ran a year of weekly testing for MILKY: CAC down 16%, new-customer ROAS up 13%, product subscriptions up 146% YoY
  • Co-wrote creator briefs, helped select creators, then planned and directed shoots and edited the footage into Meta and TikTok ads; one OROS concept shot in a day drove $500K+ in attributed sales with its variations
  • Art directed photo shoots (moodboards, casting, final selects) and shot B-roll libraries for clients short on content so the team always had footage to build ads from
  • Designed MILKY’s Amazon listing images and A+ content for a launch that reached $546K in six months, #7 in category
  • Managed 2 junior designers; built the Canva template library and email design system with the team’s email designer, and helped reorganize the team’s Monday.com project system
