Meet Ceva

More Than Content.
A Strategy.

I'm a Chicago-based UGC and lifestyle creator with 10+ years of brand marketing experience.

Content I create: Food, travel, and lifestyle content for brands like ALDI, Bias Ramen, and Chesapeake Crab Co.

My work spans recipe and food prep videos, honest product reviews, hotel and travel walkthroughs, and everyday lifestyle content.

When I'm not filming, I'm home in Chicago with my husband, daughter, and two dogs.

Case Study

How I helped BIAS Ramen

Challenge

BIAS Ramen needed authentic, food-forward UGC to introduce a new restaurant-style ramen line to a competitive grocery aisle — and convert casual scrollers into first-time buyers.

Solution

I produced a reaction-style review that opened with a hook in the first second, captured the steam and slurp moments brands rarely get right, and closed with a clear CTA tied to in-store availability.
