What projects are you most excited about?

I’m most excited about projects where I get to help plan photoshoots to highlight new WHOOP features. I love conceptualizing an idea in my head and then bringing it to life via photos, design, and words. It can take lots of time to plan the details, but often it’s those small things that make a campaign feel big and impactful.

With exciting things happening across the team, prioritizing time to focus on the highest value areas and communicating effectively across functions is critical.
