84% of traffic came via TikTok’s For You page — proof the content resonated beyond my existing audience.

Objective & Strategy

🎯

Learn Attention

Use 10–20s sketches to study hooks, pacing, and retention.

🧪

Iterate Fast

Post consistently, tweak openings, and read comments as research.

🔗

Test Shareability

Design bits that reward rewatch and sharing.

Flow & Metrics

GA4‑style path: Post Views branching into downstream actions. Link thickness reflects relative volume.

Edit values in the data object to update widths.

What I Tested

Hooks

Immediate problem/conflict in first 1–2 seconds
Pattern break: visual oddities to stop the scroll
Question openers vs. cold open jokes

Timing & Framing

Tight cuts; no dead air
Character reaction beats to create payoff
Occasional captions for clarity

Signals I Tracked

Views → likes/shares/follows conversion
Comments themes to guide next bits
Traffic source split (For You vs profile/search)

When your content makes people stop, smile, or share, you can design anything. Ads, website, or a punchline.

This live sandbox sharpened my instincts for attention, clarity, and momentum — the same muscles I use to ship UX and marketing work that actually moves people.
