Sounds of California: Bayview
Alliance for CA Traditional Arts


︎ Role: Content Developer, Editor, Communications Strategist
︎ Skills: Copy Writing and Editing, Video Editing, Graphic Design
︎ Impact: 📣 Amplifying the voices and histories of a historically underserved San Francisco neighborhood


Beginning in 2023, I worked extensively on content development and communications for the  release of Sounds of California: Bayview—a bilingual digital archive launched in 2025 by the Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA) that honors the cultural life of San Francisco’s Bayview-Hunters Point.

My contributions included:

〰️ Editing and refining nine oral history interviews with Bayview culture bearers, assisted by AI
〰️ Copy-editing and shaping web content for clarity, accessibility, and cultural sensitivity
〰️ Designing visual assets and executing a multi-platform media rollout (social, video, web)
〰️ Supporting the development of site architecture and thematic tagging strategies to improve user experience

Sounds of California: Bayview captures themes of migration, immigration, and home through the music and voices of Bayview-Hunters Point and nearby Bay Area communities. In collaboration with community organizations, artists, and residents, the collection includes rich oral histories from Bayview’s artist-activists, a commissioned video essay on Bayview’s history, neighborhood fieldwork, and recordings from a 2018 concert at the Bayview Opera House.
