Welcome to the visual zoo....
Hippo (a.k.a Shirlyn) likes to make stuff. She has directed, produced, shot and edited films, web series and content for various companies, working with many talented artists in the process. She loves creation through collaboration and communication. She also loves NY pizza!
Hippo got her start working in television post-production and editing broadcast commercials for networks such as HBO, Showtime, HGTV and Time Warner Cable. After a few years working, she returned back to school and got her MFA in Film & TV Production from New York University Tisch School of the Arts, Asia. There she wrote and directed short films some of which won awards in various film festivals around the world.
As senior producer at Apartment Therapy Media, she worked on editorial and branded content for Apartment Therapy and The Kitchn. She spearheaded AT's TikTok campaign tripling follower growth and led the video team in AT's largest marketing campaign Small/Cool which won a Digiday award in 2022. She also continues to work with clients for branded and commercial campaigns.
In her free time, she enjoys scriptwriting and recently in 2019, was a Sundance Lab co-fellow for the FilmTwo Initiative program.
