The company’s wholesale-retail model supplying companies globally(Forever21, Fashion Nova, & more!) and sells directly to customers requires versatile branding that appeals to a youthful, fashion forward audience.

The Spark Notes.

Our content themes centered around confidence and versatility, making shoes the hero without over-saturation. Engagement rose through authentic, story-driven posts and user-generated content features, creating community buy-in. By leveraging cultural references and trend-forward content, I helped position the brand at the intersection of fashion and function—a narrative that resonates deeply with its audience.

Our Impact.

My strategy for @someshoes I used visual storytelling to showcase shoes as part of a lifestyle, not just an accessory. The tone was minimal yet warm, speaking to the culture of confidence and versatility that the brand stands for. We helped shape @SomeShoes into more than footwear—it became a symbol of understated style and modern creativity.

photography

I shot product-first, with a careful focus on textures—leather, colors, stitching—and context (street-style, flat lays, lifestyle shoots). Retouching was used to eliminate small imperfections in finishing, ensuring product images matched expectations. Clean backgrounds, consistent lighting, and stylish staging conveyed both aspiration and trust.

Videography

I produced short video stylings: “1 shoe, 3 ways,” walk-throughs of product features, unboxing or packaging sequences. These offered dynamic engagement, showing the audience not just what the shoes look like, but how they move, feel, and integrate into daily style.

stories

I showcased new drops, behind the scenes design tweaks, and customer wear-tests via Stories. These transient yet frequent touchpoints kept the audience engaged with the product lifecycle.

influencers

For my work with So Me Shoes, I built the brand's influencer presence from the ground up through direct, personal outreach. I individually researched & connected with fashion and lifestyle creators who  matched the brand's trendy, accessible vibe while also being unique stylistically. My focus was on building real relationships where I personally managed every step, from ensuring they received the right styles to following up to make sure they were happy with their order. By  maintaining great communication, I fostered goodwill that naturally encouraged them to feature the shoes in their Stories and Reels, generating authentic organic content without any sponsored budget.
