Their experience includes email creation and implementation, content writing, website management and redesign, photography, graphic and video creation, content management, SEO, trend analysis, and creative strategy.

Ray has grown numerous social media accounts through content creation and account management, building out social media campaigns and content calendars for communities, companies, and social justice spaces and generating millions of video views through strategy. They work with creators and brands to build best practices and offer support to those getting started in marketing or in need of advice on next steps.

Their greatest accomplishment in social media to date has been outranking Ted Cruz in likes and views on the now-retired social media app, Headliner, despite never running for president in the 2016 primary themselves.
As an illustrator, Ray makes graphic art and 2D animations for social media, accumulating over 10 billion views on GIFs and stickers. Ray's animation experience includes bicoastal and international work with non-profits and content creators.
