• Community Engagement Specialist at Mixer

  Though my main role was originally to respond to anyone engaging with the Mixer social media handles, this quickly expanded to writing, planning, and creating strategies for social posts as well as various graphics to go along with copy. I was responsible for various design tasks including creation of social graphics, branding graphics, print materials - merchandise, cards, signage, wall wraps, and more. I also assisted with creation and editing of video projects like clips, montages, and animations, and created and edited photography for social graphics when relevant. Show less

• Content Creator

  • Jan 2014 - Jan 2018

  What started as a hobby branching from my enjoyment of online gaming turned into a full-time venture into the world of YouTube. I began making gaming videos back in 2014 and then branched into other types of video content including vlogs and animation. With time my channel has evolved into a fantastic community of over 13,000 subscribers and supporters. I created daily video content, organize collaborative projects and series, developed and maintained all of the artwork and branding for my channel as well as for gaming groups I am part of, all while actively engaging with my community through social media. I also play an active role in multiple online gaming groups that work together to create entertaining content as well as host streamed charity events to raise money for different causes. These endeavors have been incredibly fulfilling and confidence-building. Show less



Heather Charise Photographie

• Owner, Wedding/Portrait Photographer

  • May 2006 - May 2014

  Starting in high school I began doing portrait and wedding photography for friends and family members. Over the years this grew into a side business where I worked with clients to best capture their portraits or event. I learned a lot through this experience and it really enriched my creative journey in exploring how to work with a client as well as create exciting, authentic photographs. I retired from doing wedding photography in May 2014 in order to pursue other creative interests. I still take on the occasional portrait session, but overall my priorities have shifted to other mediums. Show less
