Bonsai Collective (June 2021 - March 2025)

Project: Luna Abyss

I was a mid-level Social Media & Community Manager at Bonsai Collective working on our debut game Luna Abyss. 
 

Led community and social strategy for Luna Abyss, an atmospheric narrative FPS. I managed our Discord and social platforms, revamped our content strategy (boosting engagement by 45%), and ran live events including developer Q&As and livestreams.
 

Other contributions included:

  • Recruiting and training a volunteer mod team

  • Supporting QA and feedback during community betas

  • Contributing to accessibility planning and studio production workflows

  • Leading community-facing efforts for events like GDC, Gamescom, PAX, and Steam Next Fest
