UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO - PAID CAMPAIGNS

REASSURANCE

The Reassurance campaign launches every year in September. The campaign aims to reassure students in their choice at Otago, so the messaging relies on the student experience and student support services. In 2024, the campaign imagery was portrayed on a pinboard. The placement of these assets was across social media and OOH.

My role in this campaign was to gather trinkets and imagery for the board and animate the asset from a Photoshop file provided by the designer. Animation was done on After Effects.

NIYA is an association run by Muslim rangatahi for Muslim rangatahi. We aim to provide a platform for youth to grow through events, initiatives and resources. My role in NIYA since June 2025 has been the Digital Media Officer so I create social media assets for the organisation. Content is made with Canva and the Adobe suite.

DEEP MUSLIM CONVERSATIONS

In 2023, I worked with NIYA on the launch of Deep Muslim Conversations (DMC), a podcast created to give Muslim youth in New Zealand a platform to share their voices and experiences. This project combines long-form conversations with short-form clips for social media. For this project, I edited the podcast episodes, developed the branding, and produced engaging clips to promote the series online.
