In a health conscious world of consumers switching from sugary sodas to water and teas, Mountain Dew has always found ways to grow within the category. However, despite it's growth, Dew has struggled to recruit new drinkers into the brand and specifically having difficulties recruiting multicultural targets, even with a marquee partnership with the NBA. My work as Account Director at Ten35, the Cultural Agency Of Record, helped the brand gain relevance with a revamped recruitment strategy, redefined creative target and developed the creative articulation of new strategic idea.

The new website should serve various audiences: investors, journalists and other Pharma companies. It should deliver the information in a clear, accessible way, and help users easily understand what the company does.

I co-built HearGift from zero to $1.5M in sales in 18 months. As a small hearing aid company in a sea of giants, we had to put our most creative hats on to bootstrap the company and gain a loyal client base. Aside from leveraging Facebook advertising and email marketing to generate sales, what we are most proud of is the ability to build a trustworthy and transparent company, with owners who were not afraid to be on camera, offer transparency and candid engagement with our customers. With this, we have a built a reputation of one of the most caring hearing aid companies in the world, changing thousands of lives. Our over 300 5-star reviews show that and it's one of our greatest achievements.

Key achievements:

• $1.27m in sales in the first 18 months, with an advertising spend of $428,302 (Facebook)
• $233,473 in sales with an advertising spend of $32,675 (Google)
• return customer rate of 10% (hearing aids are usually a one-time purchase)
• over 200 - 5 star reviews, dozens of video testimonials

Haiti Now is a non-profit organization that seeks to give economic empowerment to girls in Haiti’s Restavek system through education and a safe environment. The organization, however, was not receiving enough money in donations to support their mission, thus leading the CEO to come to the conclusion that the issue might have to do with the website's User Experience.

My role as a UX Researcher and Designer was to optimize the website for growth so that Haiti Now could have the impact that it seeks. The website was busy, had outdated copy, and had a lot of information that had to be re-arranged in a more user-friendly manner.
