One of my most memorable Snapchat moments was when I used a viral AR lens to transform into a ‘90s cartoon character during a friend’s birthday party. I shared it to my Story, and it sparked a chain reaction—within hours, our entire friend group was using the filter, tagging each other in hilarious throwback posts. It turned a casual hangout into an inside joke that lasted weeks, showing how Snapchat’s playful features can strengthen real-life connections!

As a daily Snapchat user, I love how the app blends authenticity with creativity—from sharing unfiltered moments with Close Friends to discovering trends via Spotlight. I’d bring a dual perspective as both a content creator (I make UGC videos) and a Gen Z consumer. For example, I use Snap Map to explore local events and AR lenses to boost engagement in my promo content. I’m excited to share insights on how Snapchat fits into social habits, from streaks as digital rituals to Discover as a news source. Let’s make this research human!
