Emerging Platforms Team

(Boston, MA)

During the summer of 2019, I was an intern on the newly-launched Emerging Platforms team at WGBH, I produced, researched, edited, and launched pilot episodes of educational and interactive digital shows for the Gen Z audience, including the award-winning Escape Lab (on Twitch), ReLive It (on Instagram), and Weekly News Quiz (on Instagram).

  • Designed visual assets of the shows and edited video and audio clips using Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator).

  • Developed storylines and strategies, pitched ideas, and researched pre- & post-production materials for interviews.

  • Worked on set for live-streaming, filming interviews, and set production.

🏆 It won the Audience Honor and was a Finalist for the 12th Annual Shorty Awards (in the Live Streaming Category)! https://shortyawards.com/12th/escape-lab

Escape Lab is an educational science show using the format of an escape room. It is live-streamed on Twitch and relies on audience participation in real-time.

  • Worked with a local escape room company to design a science/space-themed escape room set and produce a live-streamed show.

  • Helped design the creative assets (banners, layout, panels, logo, color palettes, etc) and set up the Twitch channel.

  • Produced live-streamed content, including interviews with former NASA astronauts and game designers, and BTS footage of game design sessions.

  • Created educational and interactive content for the Gen Z audience to re-live the key historical events in 1969 on their 50th anniversary through Instagram/Instagram Story. The pilot episode was on Moon Landing, and the second one was on the Woodstock festival.

  • Produced, researched/prepped for interviews with people who lived through these events, and assisted with filming on set. Edited the archival and interview footage together with native, interactive Instagram stickers. The content was posted in real-time on the day of the anniversary according to the timeline of the events 50 years ago.

Created a demo video for Snapchat content aimed at making studying for SAT vocabulary more enjoyable and accessible/quick/on-the-go for high school students.
