Hello, Vanbitious!

I’ve curated this portfolio to showcases my skills across social media content creation, videography, editing, and graphic design, with a strong focus on lifestyle, travel, and visually engaging storytelling.

Many of the featured videos and posts were created for my personal platforms, where I’ve developed an eye for aesthetic, cinematic content and trend-aware editing styles. I believe this creative approach would translate naturally into documenting campervan builds, van life experiences, travel content, and behind-the-scenes workshop processes in a way that feels genuine and engaging.

Alongside my personal content, I also run my art account, @bychrissysimms, where I take a more strategic approach to social media management through analytics, audience engagement, and content performance. Across all platforms, I aim to combine creativity with intentional storytelling and strong visual identity.

My background in graphic design also allows me to create high quality assets across multiple digital touchpoints, including social media, branding, and web content, helping maintain a cohesive and professional brand presence.

Hopefully from my application you will see, I am not shy in front of the camera!

Looking for the Best Pizza In Aberdeen?👀

While serving coffees and food at Cafe Contour on The Green, I also helped film some behind the scenes for the social media about the hand-stretched pizzas.

The video got great engagement on Instagram! You can find the original post here:

This could be you!

With engaging travel content in mind, I created this reel specifically to show you what I could do for Vanbitious.

As well as behind-the-scenes vehicle build videos, I can create cinematic, feeling-led content which engages in the lifestyle/travel niche. This content speaks directly to adventurous travellers who relate to inspiring, free-spirited lifestyle content.

Client Work (Imajica Brand Evolution)

A range of examples of design work I have done for various clients as part of my Designer role at Imajica Brand Evolution. I have supported a range of brands across social media, web and print graphics to boost community engagement with their brand.

Zest Mag Launch Carousel

In 2025, I launched a digital magazine called Zest Mag on Substack dedicated to design and community. This carousel announced the launch, rebranding and transitioning from our old Illustration Collective account called ‘Fresh Slice’, to Zest Mag.

The playful graphics grabbed attention and explained the new direction of the social media account, including the new blog on Substack.

Lifestyle Content

A range of ‘aesthetic’ lifestyle content that demonstrate I have an eye for the camera, editing and creative, visually pleasing content that spans lifestyle and travel.
