RipItRandy — Creator Support

Thumbnail Design, Social Publishing, Analytics & Ideation

I supported a 100K+ subscriber creator through YouTube thumbnail design, X/Twitter publishing, analytics review, and content ideation. The work sits directly at the intersection of gaming, basketball, and creator culture.

Content & Analytics

I use performance data to understand what earns attention, how packaging affects clicks, and which creative decisions are worth repeating.

Packaging & Performance

Brand Building + Creator Outreach

Built and marketed a custom art brand across product design, e-commerce, social promotion, creator outreach, and customer experience.

A creator outreach effort led to Kai Cenat opening a custom canvas on stream; I repurposed the moment as storefront social proof.

Basketball & Culture

Lifelong basketball experience, including youth player development and coaching overseas in Greece.

Coaching

Led youth skill-development sessions focused on fundamentals, confidence, teamwork, and individual growth.

Communication

Adapted instruction to different personalities, skill levels, learning styles, and cultural backgrounds.

Culture

That experience shapes how I understand basketball audiences, player stories, gaming culture, highlights, and fan identity.

How I Think About Content

Speed Matters

Recognize the moment, understand the context, and move while it still matters.

Platform-Native Wins

Create for the behavior of each platform instead of treating every channel like a repost destination.

Data Improves Instinct

Use performance data to sharpen creative judgment without letting metrics flatten the idea.
