Albie’s Elevator (WHYY – PBS)
Television Feature | Community Engagement | Support Public Media
I had the honor of being featured on Season 2 of Albie’s Elevator, an Emmy Award–winning children’s program produced by WHYY. The show centers around creativity, emotional intelligence, and community-building through the arts. As a guest artist, I had the chance to share my practice with a young audience in a way that felt honest, joyful, and rooted in purpose.
This experience was deeply personal. I grew up without cable, and WHYY was a staple in our home. My brother Denver and I watched Reading Rainbow, Arthur, and other PBS programs religiously. I was even a member of the Arthur book club. To be invited back into that world—this time as a contributor—was a powerful full-circle moment.
Participating in Albie’s Elevator reminded me of the essential role public media plays in the lives of families and children, especially those in underserved communities. In a time when funding for PBS and public programming is constantly at risk, it’s more important than ever to support platforms that offer free access to imagination, education, and representation.
Huge thanks to Liz, the Albie’s Elevator team, and WHYY for including me in something that makes the world feel a little brighter.

A huge thank you to Amy James O’Brien, one of my high school art teachers, and the staff and students of Renaissance Academy for taking the time to visit my mural in South Philly and see the exhibition at the PMA!
It means so much to know that young artists are engaging with my work, and I hope it inspires them on their own creative journeys. Seeing your group photo in front of the mural made my day!

Bebashi - Transition to Hope
Creative, Marketing, Social Media
During my tenure from 2014 to 2016, I harnessed the power of imagination and design to try and make a tangible difference.
-
🌟 Breathing Life Into Concepts: From Grants to Non-Profit Events and thriving B2B partnerships, I envisioned and materialized captivating concepts.
🎯 Redefining Identity: As the driving force behind Bebashi's inaugural corporate rebranding, I orchestrated the launch of their first social media presence. This transformative journey included crafting new brand identities with over 5 logos, propelling various social media marketing campaigns, and shaping a fresh, captivating brand aesthetic.
-
🌐 Spreading Knowledge: I pioneered the creation of informative materials addressing HIV and HEP-C, arming street teams with educational resources to empower communities.
🤝 Bridging Communication: My expertise extended to collaborating with Medical Case Managers, enabling them to connect more effectively with the public through enhanced design strategies.
-
🌈 Inspiring Change: I conceived Bebashi's groundbreaking 'PrEP' (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) Pill campaign, funded by Gilead Sciences. This trailblazing initiative harnessed print, digital, radio, and local television to disseminate vital information within Black and Brown communities.
🎨 Crafting Visual Stories: Through my creative lens, I designed an array of assets that capture the essence of brands – from Logos to Letterheads, Postcards to Magazines, Brochures to Awnings. Not to forget the unique Tchotchkes that became iconic symbols.
