I also played a key role, working with the brand’s Global Executive Director, Video, in the launch of several successful new YouTube series, including Where the Chefs Eat, Can Celebrities Remember Their Film Locations, Internet vs. Expert, and Going Places.

In collaboration with the content agency Mustache, I developed this series of animated explainers devoted to frequently asked travel questions, like “How do giant cruises ships float?,” “What is turbulence?,” and “Why can’t I use my cell phone on an airplane?”

I supervised a series of evergreen hands-and-pans style videos explaining techniques on packing winter coats, men’s dress shirts, wedding dresses, and more.

Working with various directors, I launched and oversaw numerous series, including “What Made Me” with subjects like Ed Droste and Charles Renfro; T Time, hosted by me and other editors; some of the early house tours; the In the Air design videos; and more.
