Previously, I was the Creative Video Director at Genius, a music media company dedicated to song lyrics and hip-hop.
I managed a team of video director/editors and helped concept and develop video series.
Over six years, the channel grew from 12k subscribers to 11M and featured early appearances from Cardi B, Doja Cat, Lil Nas X, and many more.
