Kamala Harris 2019

I served as Director of Video and Director of Digital Content for Kamala Harris’s 2020 presidential campaign.

The campaign slogan was “For The People,” and we worked to highlight all of the different people who felt personally represented by her.

Our goal of spotlighting shared personal experiences, culminated in a video we filmed with Mindy Kaling, in which they cooked dosas and curry and talked about their South Indian heritage (as well as how their parents both used old Taster’s Choice jars to store spices). The video gave Indian Americans an opportunity to bond over their shared experiences.

While I spent a lot of time on the road with then-Senator Harris (lemme know if you need taco recommendations in Iowa), I also hired and managed a seven-person team that included an influencer strategist in addition to video producers, editors, and photographers. In the end, we only had a little over a month as a team and I’m proud of the culture we were able to create in such a short time.
