About

I value social media as a tool for community engagement and personal connection rather than an algorithm to “hack”. My strategy revolves around building a strong community both online and locally. I specialize in working with creatives and artists, as well as queer organizations and businesses. My own queerness inspires me to help organizations be the pillars of the community that mean so much to me and others like me.

• Social Media Manager · Penjoyment06-01-2023 – 08-01-2024

  Through trend-jacking, educational content, and artwork profiles, we worked to balance content that was aimed to boost profile views and content that was aimed to showcase Vix as a safe person for queer and neurodivergent clients. Content surrounded the process of creating that safe environment, including videos such as the fidget toys Vix keeps for their clients. Our content highlighted the less-glamorous parts of getting tattoos, like pain management and overstimulation while getting a tattoo and helped provide solutions and guides for talking with your own tattoo artist. Beyond owned content, we worked to grow Vix’s partnerships and collaborations in the community. These efforts resulted in being featured in “Tattoo Artists React” by Inked Magazine, a top industry publication
