BUMBLE

For the Love of Love

Global Brand Platform • Creative Direction • Brand Campaign • Agency Oversight 

Global Creative Lead

At a time when dating had become synonymous with burnout, Bumble went back to the reason people date in the first place: love. For the Love of Love celebrates real couples who met on Bumble and the everyday moments that make love worth looking for.

As the sole creative lead, I led the platform across film, OOH, social, editorial, experiential and in-app—putting real Bumble love stories back at the center of the brand. The result? +4pt awareness lift among single U.S. women 22–45. 

Produced alongside our agency partner, SPECIAL.






CUROLOGY

Brand Evolution

Brand Strategy • Verbal Identity  • Co-Creative Direction • Product • Retail

Associate Creative Director

As Curology evolved from a DTC acne disruptor into a broader skincare brand, we rebuilt the creative foundation to grow with it. I helped develop the company's Northstar, evolve its strategy and verbal identity, and translate the new brand across product naming, packaging, education, digital, content and its first national retail launch.

I work helped take Curology from URL to IRL, culminating in its launch at Target—which became the retailer's #1 U.S. skincare launch of 2023.

Identity system was built alongside our agency partner, Gretel.

BUMBLE

Bee Line
Original Series • Creative Direction • Talent • Social • Agency Oversight 

Global Creative Lead

Modern dating is messy—and everyone has an opinion about it. So we created Bee Line, a social-first talk series where real daters call in with their dilemmas and some of culture's most entertaining voices pick up the phone.

As creative lead, I launched the franchise with Jake Shane and Paige DeSorbo across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and IRL activations—giving Bumble a new way to participate in the conversations happening around dating, not just the dates themselves. I'm currently leading its expansion into international markets.

BUMBLE

WNBA & NY Liberty

Brand Partnership • Creative Direction • Experientia • Content

Global Creative Lead

As women's basketball exploded into culture, Bumble partnered with the WNBA and New York Liberty to turn a shared belief in championing women into shared experiences for fans.

We built a season-long creative platform spanning All-Star Weekend, the WNBA Finals, singles events, content and in-arena activations—helping drive a 54% lift in perceived brand value and a 175% surge in new and re-engaged customers.

BUMBLE

Find Me on Bumble

Global Brand Platform • Creative Direction • Brand Campaign • Agency Oversight 
Global Creative Lead

What if finding your person was just a matter of better seeing the people already around you?

Find Them on Bumble took Bumble's global brand platform hyperlocal, spotlighting real daters across New York, Toronto, London, Mexico City, São Paulo and beyond—from what they were looking for to the places they'd actually want to meet. Where For the Love of Love told the brand's love story, this platform made it local: real people, real cities, real specificity.

As creative director, I led the campaign across OOH, film, social and in-app, making a global dating brand feel unmistakably local.

KINFORM

Brand Launch

Product Development • Kickstarter Funding • Strategy • Brand Identity
Founder & Creative Director

After years of being told that smaller boobs were something to fix, I wondered if the problem wasn't our bodies, but the products and culture built around them. So I created Kinform, a community-led lingerie brand designed specifically for smaller chests.

I took the idea from audience research to product development, naming, brand identity and launch—ultimately proving the concept with a Kickstarter that exceeded its funding goal.










BUMBLE

Little Yellow Wedding Chapel

Activation
Global Creative Lead

To celebrate the love stories that started on Bumble, we turned one of Las Vegas' most iconic wedding destinations Bumble yellow and invited couples who met on the app to finally say "I do."

As creative director, I led the activation from concept through execution. Thousands entered. Thirty-three couples came from across the U.S. and Canada for 48 hours of weddings, Elvis, yellow bouquets and happily-ever-afters. The activation earned Gold and Silver at Event Marketer's Experience Design Awards.
