irobot organic social media
MY ROLE
Co-manager, Creative Lead, and Content Creator
iRobot’s organic social channel was deprioritized in 2023, resulting in little-to-no engagement across platforms. In mid-2024, I took on the role of art directing our new social media team in efforts to re-establish the brand presence in social media, increase user-engagement, and streamline iRobot’s visual identity within this space.
THE OBJECTIVE
elevating the visual grid
To enhance the visual content on social media, I wanted to formally define the approved elements—such as colors, fonts, lighting, imagery, and shapes—that the social team should utilize. This will ensure that our content aligns with the new brand direction established by our lead designer.
from this…
While very playful, the color palette and imagery don’t give the premium look that the brand is striving for.
to this
Imagery and content is still playful, but with consistent typography, a harmonious color palette, and natural lighting.

roomba x stranger things
I partnered with co-manager and lead copywriter, Kyle Eber, to create an ARG that celebrates the release of the long-awaited final season of the Netflix show, Stranger Things. Our goal was to provide the viewers with a secret code, using the blinks of the Christmas lights. This code would complete a bit.ly link. When searched, the link led users to a hidden YouTube video that revealed promo code details for $10 off an e-gift card.
Since relaunching organic social in Fall 2024, the post became the new team’s first to hit over 100k views and over 4k likes, and counting.

five nights at irobot
To celebrate the launch of the newest release in the Five Nights at Freddy’s video game series: The Secret of the Mimic, the entire social team had a hand in creating a thrilling first-person POV video post as a night-shift worker at the iRobot headquarters. My role was to compile the deliverables from the shoot to execute and animate the final video.
The goal was to reach a new demographic of gamers, the company hadn’t touched previously. Be aware, there may be robots lurking the halls…
