Video Production

Led end-to-end video production initiatives for Parker Hannifin, developing content that translated complex engineering into compelling visual storytelling. From how-to tutorials and product demonstrations to high-energy showcase videos and social media campaigns, each piece was strategically crafted to support product education, brand awareness, and market growth.

App Development: Part Finder Mobile App

Led the creative direction and UX strategy for the Part Finder mobile application, a public-facing tool designed to simplify part discovery and streamline ordering for customers nationwide. Collaborating closely with internal stakeholders and offshore development teams, I translated product data and business requirements into an intuitive, scalable mobile experience.

The app enables users to quickly locate compatible parts, connect with partner distributors across the country, and place orders with confidence—bridging Parker’s engineering precision with a seamless digital interface. Through thoughtful information architecture, user-centered design, and cross-functional coordination, the Part Finder app elevated accessibility, strengthened distributor relationships, and modernized the customer buying journey.

Featured Print Work

Led the creative development of in-store poster campaigns for Parker Store locations and Authorized Parker Retailers across North America. Partnering closely with the Parker team, I helped shape conceptual directions that aligned with product strategy, retail objectives, and brand positioning within the industrial marketplace.

Posters were crafted to stand out in retail environments, communicate product differentiation clearly, and reinforce Parker’s reputation for performance and reliability. The result was a cohesive in-store visual presence that strengthened brand authority and supported distributor sales efforts at the point of purchase.

PTS Marketing Toolkit – Global Affiliate Web Portal

Directed the strategy and creative development of the PTS Marketing Toolkit, a centralized partner portal built to support Parker affiliates across Europe and Asia. The platform was designed as a scalable, brand-controlled environment where distributors and partners could easily access the most current marketing assets—ensuring consistency across global markets.

The toolkit housed updated logos, iconography, and branded templates alongside print flyers, product catalogs, social media ad units (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), landing page templates, and affiliate program support materials. By organizing and systematizing these resources into a streamlined digital hub, the portal strengthened brand alignment, accelerated campaign deployment, and empowered partners to execute with confidence while maintaining Parker’s global visual standards.
