lesser known series
As Producer and Editor for the Lesser Known series at Substance Media Agency, I led a social media campaign focused on highlighting overlooked pioneers in the entertainment industry. I guided the project from concept to completion—researching and selecting each subject, shaping the storytelling, and editing the final videos to bring these underrepresented voices to the forefront. While managing multiple productions, I also led a small team of three junior editors, making sure the series stayed cohesive and aligned with our creative vision. The goal was to spark curiosity, build engagement, and grow Substance’s online presence through meaningful, story-driven content.

samples series
As part of Substance’s social media campaign, I produced and edited a video series exploring the stories behind iconic songs and the samples they were built from. Each episode broke down the shared audio between tracks, offering a deeper look into the art of music sampling. I researched, selected topics, and mixed the audio for every episode—shaping each one to feel informative, engaging, and true to the spirit of the music. The goal was to connect with our audience through storytelling, rhythm, and a genuine love for the craft.
