I helped develop Tsu-NOT-Me, a campaign using playful, human-centered illustrations. Bold, humorous visuals and approachable characters made abstract risk relatable, applied across digital, print, and social to grab attention and drive sign-ups for NotifyLA alerts.
The campaign boosted engagement with tsunami preparedness content, proving that a playful, illustrative approach can make public safety messaging more approachable and effective. It generated an estimated 28,577,349 total impressions across digital, social, streaming audio, text messaging, and out-of-home placements in targeted Los Angeles ZIP codes.

Working within the creative department at Sensis, I helped shape a visual concept that transformed statistics into emotionally driven storytelling. Rather than leading with numbers, we focused on consequence, making the impact of speeding immediate and personal.
Using controlled composition, cinematic lighting, and clear visual hierarchy, we developed bold Out-of-Home visuals that captured attention and conveyed urgency in seconds. The system extended across OOH, print, and digital, ensuring consistency citywide.
The campaign elevated public engagement and strengthened the visibility of Austin’s Vision Zero mission. “Speeding Changes Everything – Vision Zero Austin” earned a Bronze in the Out of Home category (2024) at The Drum Awards for Marketing Americas in New York City.
