An Insider's view of WHOOP

What projects are you most excited about?

I’m most excited about projects where I get to help plan photoshoots to highlight new WHOOP features. I love conceptualizing an idea in my head and then bringing it to life via photos, design, and words. It can take lots of time to plan the details, but often it’s those small things that make a campaign feel big and impactful.

What makes someone successful on your team?

Focus and collaboration are key traits to be successful on our team. With exciting things happening across the team, prioritizing time to focus on the highest value areas and communicating effectively across functions is critical. Of course, practicing what we preach in the form of healthy sleep and recovery habits allows our team members to excel!
