Stop scrolling, here's why you should work with 🎯ME🎯 (+) I've saved a wellness company $30M a year through performance-driven designs. (+) Took a fintech client from page 11 on Google to page 1 with copy that actually converted. (+) Before any of this I was a computer engineer, so pattern recognition isn't a soft skill for me, it's how I'm wired. I just apply it to ad creative instead of code. I help e-commerce brands spending $50k+ a month on ads outrun creative fatigue with sharper ad strategy and fresh scripts. My strategy leans hard on buyer psychographics, not just hooks that sound good for five seconds. Portfolio's below if you want to poke around. DM me, let's run a one-month trial and crush it! 💪 Your Performance Creative Strategist, Kelly

A beautiful social media presence is meaningless if it doesn’t drive real business engagement. I help lifestyle, wellness, and premium brands cultivate a distinct digital identity through cohesive creative direction, intentional content creation, and strategic social media management. I don't just "post to post." I map out editorial, highly visual content systems that tell your brand story, capture attention immediately, and build long-term community loyalty. How I support your brand’s digital footprint: Creative & Art Direction: Elevating your overall visual identity, color stories, and aesthetic consistency across all platforms. Social Media Strategy & Management: Building end-to-end content calendars, writing highly intentional captions, and optimizing for discoverability and engagement. Content Design & Curation: Developing modern carousels, short-form video concepts (Reels/TikToks), and visual assets that reflect a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic. E-Commerce & Digital Storefront Optimization: Enhancing the visual merchandising, layout, and consumer experience on platforms like Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, and Etsy to ensure your digital storefront seamlessly matches your brand identity and drives conversions. Ready to turn your social channels and digital storefront into your highest-performing brand assets? Let’s connect and chat about your goals.

I’m a Customer Experience Team Lead and professional Model/UGC Creator with a background in SaaS support, marketing, and content creation, helping businesses deliver seamless, high-quality experiences across every customer touchpoint. In my current role, I lead a high-volume support team where I manage complex customer issues, improve workflows, and ensure fast, thoughtful, and consistent communication. I’m experienced in ticket-based support, onboarding, troubleshooting, and working across systems to resolve issues efficiently while maintaining a strong customer experience. I also have experience working with consumer brands, where I supported customers through social channels, handling product questions, order issues, and post-purchase concerns. This has given me a strong understanding of both operational support and brand-facing communication. Beyond support, I’ve built AI-assisted workflows and internal tools to help streamline processes, identify patterns, and improve team efficiency. I enjoy working at the intersection of customer experience and systems, where I can not only solve problems but improve how things work long-term. In addition, I work as a UGC creator and model, collaborating with brands to create high-performing content across TikTok and Instagram. My content has organically reached over 50M people in 2025 alone, and I specialize in creating relatable, conversion-focused videos that feel natural and engaging. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with, and I take pride in delivering high-quality work that makes a real impact. Let's work together!

Every brand has a unique story, audience, and positioning, and my job is to bring that to life in a way that is both visually compelling and built to perform. I work with brands ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies, bringing together design psychology, platform strategy, and audience insight to create content that does not just look good, it grows and converts. With a Bachelor's degree in Visual Communications and years of hands-on experience, I combine aesthetics with strategy so that every piece of content serves a purpose. I also run a personal branding program for founders and individuals who are ready to stop blending in. My North Star Personal Branding Program is built to uncover what makes you genuinely magnetic, position it with precision, and turn it into a presence that works. Every client who has gone through it has come out the other side with a brand that finally feels like them - and performs like it means it. I specialize in: - Social media strategy and account management - Personal branding program and identity development - Branding, identity, and custom visual design - Short-form video and viral content creation - Campaign execution and email marketing - Content across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest - Design using Canva, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and the latest AI tools I have also developed a technique that blends real-world storytelling with high-quality AI to create immersive, premium content tailored to your specific audience and goals. Whether you are building from zero or ready to accelerate an established presence, I bring the strategy, the design, and the execution to make it happen.

Your ads shouldn't just get views. They should generate sales. If you're spending money on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, or other paid channels, the biggest factor in performance is often the creative itself. That's where I come in. I help brands create ad creative that stops the scroll, communicates value quickly, and gives customers a reason to buy. When we work together, you'll get: • Ad creative built specifically for paid media, not content that only looks good organically • Fresh concepts and hooks designed to improve click-through rates and conversions • Videos that can be used across Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other acquisition channels • A partner who understands the entire customer journey, not just video editing • Fast communication and reliable delivery I've worked with brands ranging from startups to globally recognized companies, and the goal is always the same: Create content that helps you acquire more customers and generate more revenue. If you're looking for someone who understands both creative and performance marketing, send me a message and I'll share examples of work that's driving results for brands.
