Yours Truly.
A Nevada native, I began my journey as a storyteller early on. I was intrigued by the concept of developing a new lens to experience life through, which made me gravitate towards the performing arts. I auditioned for and attended the Las Vegas Academy of the Performing Arts for theatre. In my studies, I grew an interest in the school magazine, and I quickly became the Assistant Editor. Journalism allowed my path to diverge and brought me to Reno, Nevada. With a Bachelor's Degree in PR and Marketing, I have been able to creatively support local businesses and artists in telling their stories. It has been beautiful to have the tools to be a connector within this community. I love Nevada and I wish to continue to ground into its communities and beyond. I have remained a passionate storyteller, clear communicator, and embodied creative. I have utilized and explored every creative medium. As a storyteller, my diverse experience has allowed me to develop an unconventional creative eye, supporting my endeavors in every sphere. Below you will see a glimpse into some of my most favorite and relevant creations. Thank you for this opportunity to take up space and make waves.
The creation of m00nsshine and tashijoon I created m00nsshine in 2018 as a positivity page on Instagram, and it gradually evolved into an outlet for my photography and creative work. Inspired by natural elements, femininity, and the vintage Las Vegas aesthetic that shaped my upbringing, m00nsshine is now home to my photography portfolio and visual storytelling. More recently, I created tashijoon as my audience-facing alias, where I share vintage fashion, lifestyle, and creative content. Through organic growth on TikTok, I've built an engaged audience and had opportunities to collaborate with brands and platforms including Whatnot. Together, m00nsshine and tashijoon represent the different sides of my creative work, from photography behind the camera to fashion, storytelling, and life in front of it.
Community Management One of my favorite aspects of Community Management is community engagement. This past holiday season, one of my HOA Boards presented the desire of getting their neighbors into the holiday spirit. We decided on a holiday light contest, which meant that I had the opportunity to be creative. I designed the newsletters below, along with yard signs for the winners. We had an email campaign to encourage homeowner participation, and the turnout was fantastic.
Burning Man Honorarium Project “The Silence of TENGRI” by STuro Since 2023, I have had the privilege of working with Burning Man artist STuro. This year, I stepped into the role of Social Media Manager and created a marketing campaign for STuro's 2024 art installation, The Silence of TENGRI. By intentionally curating content for Instagram and Facebook using the five pillars of social media marketing, I built an engaging narrative that resonated with his audience. These efforts paid off, with the Instagram account achieving 6,000 views within the first three months of its creation, amplifying STuro’s work and fostering meaningful connections within the Burning Man and art communities.
Mountain Song Medicine Spring Equinox 2023 Campaign Mountain Song Medicine (previously Sierra Roots Wellness) is a local herbalist that I have worked with for over three years. Our campaign shoots are seasonally based, which has allowed our work to evolve organically. The vision for the photos is heavily based on the season and herbs present in the products. Most of the ingredients in her products are locally grown and foraged on her land, so I make sure to maintain that natural essence in our shoots. I have attached photos from one of my favorite of our campaigns. You can view more of my photography on her website at https://mountainsong.love/.
Elite Boxing and Crossfit Collaboration with Nevada Hoops
Elite Boxing and Crossfit Collaboration with Nevada Hoops During my time as the marketing manager for Elite Boxing and Crossfit, the gym had a community collaboration with Nevada Hoop, the University of Nevada’s men’s basketball team. The basketball players visited to take a boxing class. I was stoked to capture the class and skillfully formulate multiple posts to cover the event using search engine optimization. With over 5k views, 300 likes, and multiple people sharing the video, the reel pictured below remains the highest performing post for their Instagram account. The university is an important institution in the Reno community, so I appreciated capturing and creating social media content of the men’s basketball team.
Nevada Museum of Art Marketing and Communications Internship In the summer of 2019, I had the pleasure of being the Communications and Marketing Intern for the Nevada Museum of Art. I was fully engaged with the brand of the museum. My role was multidimensional, but at its root, upheld the vision of telling the museum's story. It was a special time, for the Nevada Museum of Art had two Georgia O’Keeffe exhibits on display. That summer was pure inspiration for me and has continued to influence my path. Some of my internship consisted of tabling at events throughout the community, writing the email pitch on the next page, learning to write press releases, and overall connecting with my local community through the magic of the museum. For nostalgic value, I attached some photos from that time.
Email Pitch for Georgia O’Keeffe Hi (name), After reading your piece from (x) about (x), I think you might be interested in learning more about Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986), an artist who lived a progressive, independent lifestyle. Considered the “mother of American modernism,” O’Keeffe was determined to control how the world understood her identity and artistic values through her clothing, her paintings and the way she posed for the camera. From July 20- October 20, the Nevada Museum of Art will be the only venue on the West Coast to feature a fresh look at this iconic artist through her art, fashion and style. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern expands our understanding of this renowned modernist artist. The exhibition focuses on O’Keeffe’s wardrobe, shown for the first time alongside key paintings and photographs. In addition to selected paintings and items of clothing, the exhibition presents photographs of O’Keeffe and her homes by Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel Adams, Philippe Halsman, Yousuf Karsh, Cecil Beaton, Andy Warhol, Bruce Weber, Todd Webb, and others. To enhance this summer’s O’Keeffe experience, the Nevada Museum of Art has staged an additional exhibition to complement Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern. On view May 25 through September 22, Georgia O’Keeffe: The Faraway Nearby, From the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe, New Mexico transports visitors to the artist’s outdoor lifestyle in the American Southwest. Consider the following points about O’Keeffe’s life and work as a renowned modernist: ● Georgia O’Keeffe stands out as a pioneering artist for being one of the first women to participate in early modernist movements, for achieving significant success immediately and sustaining this over a long career, and for forging the way for successive generations of artists, she is also an American icon. ● In the early days of the twentieth century, it was considered daring for a young woman to be an art student. O’Keeffe attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. ● In 1915, women still did not have the right to vote, which influenced O’Keeffe to join the National Woman’s Party to campaign for the women’s suffrage movement. At these links, you will find more information. I look forward to speaking with you about story opportunities related to this extraordinary artist. Thank you, Tashina Habibian
