EXPEDIA
MaDE TO TRAVEL
IN 2022, as the world thawed from COVID, Expedia re-emerged as the ultimate dreamy, elevated travel brand.
Fueled by a new creatively led organization—stacked with aesthetic visionaries snatched from Apple—Expedia transformed into a bold creative force in travel. This curated collection of dreamlike photography for Expedia's U.S. out-of-home campaign reinforced a powerful sentiment:
Travel isn't just a thing you do—it's a feeling. And now, it's time to create new memories.
My role was to push Expedia's visual storytelling further, shaping the brand's evolving identity through photography.
I led the discovery, selection, curation and licensing of all imagery for this campaign, drawing inspiration from the Italian Renaissance. I reimagined the use of diptychs and triptychs—pairing visuals in sets of two and three to create a more immersive, artful experience.
Collaborating around the clock with executive creative directors, brand integration teams and media strategists—I loved every minute of it.
Once the campaign went live, I commissioned photographers to document the work in the world across NYC and Los Angeles. The media placements were just as bold as the visuals:
- Train station takeovers in Philadelphia
- Hand-painted murals in Miami
- Print & digital billboards in Atlanta, Chicago, and San Francisco.

The match-cuts from the water in the bath to the sea, the beige carpet to the feeling of sand, this film taps into the power of dreams, imagination, and creating new memories. I licensed the app UI segments with bespoke photography from around Jamaica.

When the winter weather becomes unbearable, Expedia and ChatGPT help these best friends find the sun.
I consulted on the script, bringing in members from Expedia’s disability ERG, the Ability Inclusion Movement (AIM). Expedia also partnered in this effort with Wheel the World.
