My Background

I am a lifestyle content creator centered in Rochester, New York.


From personal content to business promotions, I have a wide range of experience in creation. This is in part due to my passion for social media, graphic design, and photography. I also attribute this experience to my position as founder/manager of a business.


My content is centered around clean, natural aesthetics - captializing on the “that girl” and self-help trends that have bloomed in 2022.

What and Why

Why is UGC important for my brand?

92% of customers are more likely to trust reccomendations from other people than brands themselves (SalesForce 2016).


UGC creators are innately creative and innovative - creating content that consumers actually find engaging. It has even been shown that UGC increases engagement by up to 28% (SEMrush 2021).


On top of that, UGC creators take away the stress of coming up with original content, making it easier to meet the high volume of posts needed for social media growth.

What is UGC?

UGC stands for user generated content.


This style of content creation is helpful in making brands more relatable. UGC can build connections between consumers and the brand that influencers cannot (side-note: UGC creator ≠ influencer).


Takeaway: Influencers build brand awareness, UGC builds brand connections.
