Franchette "RJ" Zamudio

multimedia storyteller + community advocate based in Queens, NYC

Multimedia journalist and designer specializing in social media, data visualization, and community storytelling. I craft digital campaigns and narratives that drive engagement and visibility—most notably helping the Queens Chamber of Commerce reach 100,000+ views for its Queens Best Bar competition and 22,000+ views for College Point Restaurant Week.

Below are just some of my selected clips and designs.

Feel free to roam around my website for even more of my work!

SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO PRODUCTION

In less than a year, I have tripled the engagement and reach of the Queens' Chamber of Commerce's social media presence. This is through leveraging my video and journalistic storytelling skills. I highly enjoy interviewing small business owners and help sharing their stories to the greater Queens community.  I oversee all social media video production, which includes filming, editing, writing a narration script, voice over, interviewing, and also writing copy. Each video is carefully crafted with a hook, narrative, and heart.

REPORTING CLIPS

My article on the Part Time Faculty Union's lessened health insurance during the pandemic gained traction during the protests.

This piece was written for The New School Free Press Live Blog. I sat in during Student Senate meetings and interviewed senators, acquiring important news for students. 

I started this original feature series at the height of virtual leaning during the pandemic. Each week, I interviewed students about their "furry friends" who would show up during Zoom classes. 

DATA VISUALIZATION

This Data Viz story has been selected by faculty for the upcoming Skybridge Exhibit at The New School.  I analyzed and illustrated large, publically available datasets from the National Health Survey using Google Sheets, Adobe Illustrator, and Canva. 

SOCIAL MEDIA GRAPHICS 

As Social Media Editor for The New School Free Press, I designed and formatted original graphics to post on IG, Twitter, and Facebook. For these, I used Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, and Adobe Express.

MULTIMEDIA FOOD CLIPS

I started my multimedia food project, Franchette's Fork, in 2020.  For this project, I wear many hats. I try and rate trending social media recipes, write reviews of NYC restaurants, photograph, shoot and edit video, as well as create graphics.
