In my role as Director of Experience Design at VMLY&R, I spearheaded a swift and extensive launch for Ford's groundbreaking all-electric F-150 Lightning truck, overseeing its public unveiling and entire model year cycle rollout. This involved developing shot lists, moodboards, and coordinating photography and video planning in collaboration with project managers, client representatives, and a comprehensive production team. I directed the creative vision through two significant offsite shoots, provided guidance for CG renders, utilized a 360 colorizer, and played a key role in designing the vehicle websites for the public reveal, retail, and fleet aspects of the launch. I continue to lead the experience design and strategy for all following model years of the vehicle.
