Catalyst Planet

Position: Media InstaGram/TicToc Graphics

Catalyst Planet

This is a branding sentence that works like this 

As an Editorial Social Media Designer for Catalyst Planet, I translate long-form journalism covering travel, culture, environmental issues, and social action into engaging, multi-slide Instagram carousels. My responsibilities include researching relevant imagery, developing concise storytelling copy, and creating storyboards that guide audiences through each article’s key ideas. I establish visual direction through typography, color palettes, photography, and graphic elements, ensuring each carousel communicates its subject clearly while maintaining a cohesive editorial style.

Using Canva and Adobe Photoshop, I develop visual compositions that balance storytelling, readability, and visual impact. I also research image sources and licensing requirements, coordinate assignments and revisions through Notion and Google Docs, and deliver graphics within a three-to-five-hour rush turnaround. This process allows me to adapt each design to its subject while transforming complex information into accessible visual narratives that encourage audiences to explore the full story.

Wash Off The Day positions Savage Soap as a tool for personal reset—removing not just physical residue, but the accumulation of daily experience. Set across three environments—domestic, industrial, and natural—the campaign frames dirt, sweat, and atmosphere as something carried on the body. The soap becomes a point of transformation, shifting chaos into clarity through ritual.

Creating visual systems, motion, and stories that invite curiosity.
