WORK SAMPLES

 
 

My media is unique, brand-cohesive, eye-catching, and fun. I strive to create digital content that people are excited to engage with, bringing together ideas and inviting people in.

This is a selection. For specific requests, please email me at myrtle@sharkylemon.com.

 
 

  • From static images to curated highlights and reels, I am an expert at making sure content is noticed by just the right audience.

    I currently run many different social media accounts including - but not limited to - @leighformn, @smittenkittenmn, @brionforhouse, @genderoutlaws, and more.

  • Who says ad buying is boring? Not me! Advertising is the best way to get new eyes on your message. I have worked with many major ad streams (The Star Tribune, KARE11, Hulu, etc) for both my clients and former employers with exceptional results. Let’s talk about geo-fencing sometime!

  • From illustration to corporate flyers and brochures, I’ve created it all. It’s so important to ensure your brand is cohesive, eye-catching, and engaging for your audience.

  • From product descriptions to blog posts, I can write catering to specific audiences with ease.

  • I utilize premiere pro to create stunning and representational videos - for advertisement or simple exposure.

  • Specializing in headshots, I love to take images that feel representational of the subject.
