I helped concept, shape, and write the creative for the newly reimagined Customer Experience Center (CXC) at Workday’s headquarters. From choosing the right activations and experience components to crafting the storytelling throughout, I worked closely with cross-functional teams to bring the space to life. The result is a dynamic, immersive environment that showcases Workday’s value in a way that feels personal, thoughtful, and future-facing—and now serves as the blueprint for CXCs around the world.
Following Workday’s very first Super Bowl ad, we launched a year-long campaign (which included this landing page) highlighting the rock stars of the corporate world. With the help of some star-studded talent, we showed how cloud ERP can take your exec team from great to badass.
Here’s to the rock stars of business.

Workday Rising is the company’s flagship annual conference, bringing together customers, partners, and thought leaders from around the world.

2020 came with its fair share of challenges. So, when we were tasked with revamping YouTube's Year In Review campaign, we made it our mission to unearth the year’s silver lining and uplift 6M content creators worldwide. We needed to celebrate their channel engagement with a highly personalized–yet globally scalable–message. Introducing #MyYearInReview.
The email had a whopping 42% open rate and #MyYearInReview has been mentioned in over 2.7 million videos as of April 2021.

Workday DevCon brings developers and IT leaders together for the love of Workday technology. This conference is all about sharing tips with peers and helping attendees walk away ready to add more value to their respective organizations.
And with over 600 attendees, this was the biggest event yet. Through web, onsite copy, merch, opening videos, and an overarching theme, we were able to bring this conference to life. This is how we connected, learned, and built together.
We turned copper into gold.
Metromile was built on the idea that quality car insurance should only cost customers a few pennies-per-mile.
