ZED RUN: Making Human Connections

As one of the public figures for VHS, I contributed to both front-facing and behind-the-scenes efforts to humanize the brand and build trust with our audience. This included:

Developer Blogs & Content – Authored insightful blogs that gave players an inside look at development, fostering transparency and excitement.

Media & Interviews – Represented VHS in press interviews, industry panels, and live discussions, reinforcing our credibility and vision.

Social Engagement & Community Content – Created engaging social assets, interactive content, and real-time activations, keeping players connected and invested.

Live Events & Activations – Organized and participated in live streams, in-game events, and fan meetups, creating memorable experiences that strengthened the community.

Human Park: Creating $2M Market Demand

At VHS, I led the marketing for Human Park, a next-gen metaverse built in Unreal Engine with deep customization and a rich, evolving world. We built massive demand through killer brand storytelling, character development, and a world narrative that pulled players in.

I drove the primary reveal trailers, NFT marketplace assets, and an engaging social strategy that turned curiosity into a movement. The result? $2M in marketplace NFT value... all from free NFT mints. This wasn’t just another project. It was a community-driven experience that proved the power of great storytelling and strategic marketing.

Pathfinder Adventures: A Retro Revival!

For Pathfinder Adventures, we fused retro nostalgia with modern trends, creating a live-action trailer with a bold Stranger Things vibe. Tapping into the D&D resurgence, we rode the wave of excitement and crafted a campaign that resonated with both longtime fans and new players.

The result? 600K+ organic views and a surge to the top of the puzzle category on mobile. This wasn’t just a launch—it was a cultural moment that proved the power of smart trend-jacking and creative storytelling.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Record-Breaking Funding Campaign

Launching Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire wasn’t just about raising funds—it was about building a movement. With a strategy centered on engagement, transparency, and real conversations, we created one of the most interactive and responsive crowdfunding campaigns ever.

We smashed our $1.1M goal in just 24 hours, ultimately raising $4.4M, making it the most successful campaign on the Fig platform. With 11,000+ comments and responses, daily backer updates, and direct conversations with the development team, we turned backers into passionate advocates and set a new benchmark for crowdfunding success.

OC Poolscapes: Making Waves in a Crowded Market

Breaking into the competitive Southern California pool industry wasn’t just about great design—it was about building trust. I modernized OC Poolscapes’ brand and strategy, focusing on client education and authentic customer testimonials to stand out.

From a new logo and website to social content, copy, and video production, I led a full-scale brand refresh that delivered real results. In just the first month, we secured 16 new projects totaling $4M in revenue and expanded into Los Angeles and Texas using the same winning playbook.

A strong brand and the right strategy don’t just make an impact—they create momentum.

*Also it was cool to have my family in the commercial ;)

Colina Legacy: The Little Indie That Could

Colina Legacy was a passion project turned breakout success. We took this indie horror title from concept to reality, self-publishing across PC (Steam), Xbox, and mobile platforms, proving that a small but dedicated team could make a big impact.

I led efforts to secure influencer coverage and drive awareness, which helped us win DreamHack Atlanta’s "Best Let’s Play" Indie Category. The game’s success gave our startup the runway, recognition, and publishing opportunities that led to future projects like Arcanium, Parking Escape, and Generation Overdrive.

A true testament to scrappy innovation and smart marketing.
