How long (Generally) does it take you to create a piece of video content?
Generally, it takes me about 1–3 hours to create a piece of video content, depending on the complexity. For short-form content like TikTok or Reels, I usually spend time planning the concept, filming multiple takes, editing with transitions, text, and audio, and then fine-tuning for platform trends. If it’s a more casual or reactive post, it can be done in under an hour, but for polished brand content, I like to give it a few hours to ensure it’s engaging and aligns with the brand’s aesthetic and message.

How do you stay updated on the latest social media trends and adapt them into your content creation strategy?
I stay updated on the latest social media trends by actively engaging with platforms like TikTok and Instagram daily, paying close attention to trending audios, visual styles, and formats that align with wellness and lifestyle content. For a brand like Recess, which promotes calm and balance, I would adapt trends in a way that feels intentional and on-brand—like using soothing aesthetics, slowed-down transitions, or popular “day in the life” formats to showcase how Recess fits into a stress-free routine. I also follow wellness creators and trend reports to make sure content stays fresh but still aligns with Recess’s calming tone and mission.
