BULU BOX SOCIAL MEDIA + BRAND PRESENCE I started at Bulu Box as a Graphic Design Intern, and worked my way up to being Bulu Box’s Social Media Manager, tackling our social media presence and creating graphics (all as an intern). I developed and managed online marketing campaigns for Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. I achieved and managed a visible social media presence and brought life to our online presence through exciting content for our Bulugans!

BULU BOX VIDEO
Video was my original creative outlet, and I was reminded when I look over production of Bulu Box’s ‘The Scoop’ how much I really love video. I produced monthly and quarterly videos for ‘The Scoop’ (pictured left and above), which gave the literal scoop on new products! From these videos I advanced onward to making more video content for Bulugans, such as recipe videos, DIYs, and animations highlighting top products! Video production tasks included: recording footage, setting up background displays, gathering materials, making storyboards, enhancing audio, cutting and producing footage, and uploading to the internet and social media.

BULU BOX BLOG + DIY
Blogging is my jam. The Bulu Box blog (“Bulu HQ”) is something I’m proud to have worked on advancing. I brainstormed, wrote, and produced DIY content for our Bulugans. I even did this crazy thing called ‘researching fitness’ and wrote to let Bulugans know about the newest fitness and yogi trends.

FIND FOOD A HAPPY HOME
17
FIND FOOD A HAPPY HOME It’s important to understand the food treatment process, especially in our younger generations. Find Food a Happy Home allows children to gain new knowledge in an easily understandable way and encourages them to start thinking about proper food waste and treatment. We need to fix our world’s way of thinking and the best place for us to start is with our youth, as they are the generation fighting for the next. This project is designed to help us think about where food is going, in hopes to decrease waste in our food’s cycle.

VIDEO WORK
I was the weird kid that made stop motion videos of stuffed animals instead of playing with them. I’ve been making videos since I was a kid, from stop motion videos (featuring my really cool stuffed animals) to buying green fabric so I can use green screen techniques to make #groovy music videos. I fell in love with Adobe (through Adobe Premiere and After Effects) over six years ago. I have a thorough understanding of video production applications, and recently re-picked up my love for video! Let me shoot and animate your life, products you may be selling, or even your cat! (If that’s your kinda thing.)

PHOTO WORK
I take just about anything from product photography to your child’s senior portrait. I’ve been trained in perfecting product photography. During my time at Bulu Box, I had the duty of working on product photography. There I became very detail-oriented, making sure every photo was tastefully designed and edited. When I’m not busy designing for companies or working on product photography, I spend my time capturing photography and the occasional wedding!
