Mashable’s “What’s the Deal?”
Leading up to Black Friday 2021, I scripted and appeared in a series of videos showcasing some of the hottest products of the season in fun ways. I participated in a battle of robot vacuums, made holiday cards with the Polaroid Go camera, and hosted a spa night with the Gravity robe.

Special Projects
Mashable’s Gift Lab is an interactive gift guide in which users can select filters from three dropdown menus to yield gifting suggestions based on who they’re shopping for, what they’re interested in, and what the budget is. For this project, I came up with the filters, sourced all of the products, and assigned products to filters based on my shopping expertise. I wrote copy for all 120+ products included and created affiliate commerce links for them.
