In collaboration with OMAO Brands, I produced the first commercial for the company. The commercial promoted their biggest product, OMAO Biodegradable Straws! A great product that doesn’t get soggy and will decompose safely into the environment within 90 days. I had so much fun working with CEO Alex Zhang on this project.

I edited two videos for the web series “Harlem Made” a Thrillist production sponsored by Doordash. The series showcases four small business within Harlem, NY. We dive deep into the struggles of running a business during a pandemic, as well as the significant history and community that helps them excel forward. Host and Queen of Hospitality, Tren’ness Woods-Black, sits down with the owner, Karl Franz Williams, to hear about the inspiration behind the name of 67 Orange and how he pays homage to the New York speakeasies of the past. I edited these videos with the help of my Senior Creative producer Jake Rasmussen and the rest of the Thrillist team to create something truly special.
