12 years of making brands
feel like your favorite friend
online.
Twelve years as a social media manager taught me how a brand's strategy actually works – I bring that lens to everything I make. These days, though, I keep it simple: I shoot the content, edit it, and star in it too, for brands like ALOHA, Four Sigmatic, and Wayfair.
Part meme historian, part camera-ready talent, full-time observer.
I'm a content creator based in Massachusetts, with over a decade managing social channels for food & beverage, eCommerce, and CPG brands – and just as much time in front of the camera making the content myself.
At heart, I'm an observer. I notice the small, universal moments – the ones almost anyone can relate to – and turn them into content that feels less like an ad and more like something a friend sent you. That's what makes it shareable. My throughline is simple: captivate audiences through laughter and education, and keep a finger on the pulse of internet culture so a brand can show up in the conversation at the right moment – whether that's a trend, a meme, or a Beyoncé tour.
Along the way I've managed socials for ALOHA Protein, Four Sigmatic, and Wayfair, shot UGC and influencer content for a handful of other food and wellness brands, and – for fun – run a cult-favorite cooking account called Gay Creuset.
Content that actually performs.

Currently building ALOHA's always-on organic content – trend-aware, education-forward, and unmistakably on-brand.

A batch of 8 scroll-stopping hooks written and filmed for ReciMe's "get organized in the kitchen" campaign – the raw first three seconds that decide whether someone keeps watching.
Straightforward rates, flexible enough for the right brand.

Le Creuset, but like gay 🍳 Food is medicine 🍲
Outside of client work, Colin studies at culinary school and cooks under the alias Gay Creuset – equal parts fine-dining plating practice, sourdough experiments, and "Culinary 101" explainers that make kitchen science actually funny.
