Case study · Booking.com
Global Freelance Management Coordinator, Visual Content
Booking needed high-quality, consistent property and destination content in dozens of markets, fast and on budget. I built and ran the production behind it: a network of freelance photographers and videographers across more than 50 countries, an annual content plan tied to marketing, and a shared asset library that the whole team could use.

Case study · ofi (Olam International)
Senior Producer, Creative Production
The in-house team needed to produce more food and ingredient content without losing brand consistency. I led a team of four, redesigned the workflow, and owned planning, budgets and vendors. Then I started bringing AI into the pipeline to take the slow, repetitive work off the team.
