What excites you the most about creating content for social media?
For me, the most exciting part of creating content for social media is the chance to build real, authentic connections. Social media often gets a bad rap for being shallow or inauthentic, but when used the right way, platforms like Instagram and TikTok are amazing tools for expressing a brand’s personality and connecting with an audience! It’s so refreshing to see companies using these platforms to create genuine, down-to-earth content that resonates with people.
Do you have a favorite social media platform and why?
TikTok is definitely my favorite! As addictive as it is, I find the content there to be the most fun and engaging. There’s a lighthearted, almost playful vibe on the platform that you can’t really find anywhere else, and it’s always evolving with fresh, creative ideas.
What’s a social media trend you’re loving right now?
There are so many fun trends happening right now, but I’d have to say I’m really loving the #MakeInstagramCasualAgain movement. The idea behind it is all about encouraging users to share more unfiltered, authentic content. It’s a return to that “real life” style of posting that feels so much more relatable, fun, and engaging.
Which tools or apps do you swear by for photography and editing?
My go-to app for photography and editing is definitely Lightroom. The platform is so vertisle, and is definitely the most user-friendly app I’ve tried.
What’s your go-to camera or equipment for capturing content?
I recently got the Fujifilm X-T30 and I love it so much! It’s a digital camera with film simulations, so it combines modern features with a vintage aesthetic. I’ve been having so much fun experimenting with it!
What’s your favorite setting for shooting photos or videos?
Every shoot has its own ideal setting, but lately, I’ve been loving the results I get by lowering the exposure. When the lighting isn't perfect, reducing exposure can give your photos a moody, cleaner aesthetic that is great for showcasing anything with nightlife.
What’s your favorite way to stay inspired creatively?
Pinterest! It’s the perfect place to discover fresh ideas and get inspired by what other creatives are doing. There’s always something new and exciting to explore there.
What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?
My perfect day involved plenty of sunshine, and an evening spent at the movie theater.
Are you more of a sunrise or sunset kind of person?
I’m definitely a sunrise person! I love waking up early to start the day, and catching the sunrise over the water is always the highlight of my day.
What’s your favorite local spot you love to visit?
There are so many amazing spots around town, but I’d have to say that BUS is my favorite. I especially love that it is pet-friendly!
What’s one goal you have for your time with The Swell Studio?
I really hope to make a meaningful impact on someone’s journey—whether it’s through content, inspiration, or just being a support system.
