Airbnb x Barbie
Barbie added Host on Airbnb to her extensive list of careers and accomplishments, and I got to be a part of it all as the Lead Creative on this partnership. With panoramic ocean views, the home is a larger-than-life recreation of Barbie’s iconic Malibu DreamHouse. From her hobby room and the infinity pool to a closet full of career outfits and an outdoor meditation zone, every corner of the house reflects Barbie as a role model to young women everywhere. The two-night stay was available for only $60 a night to commemorate the Barbie brand’s 60th anniversary. The Barbie Malibu DreamHouse garnered close to 2 billion media impressions, with featured stories in ABC News, Business Insider, Buzzfeed, CNN, E! Online, Elle, Forbes, GoodMorningAmerica.com, Oprah Magazine, People, and USA Today to name a few.
A highlight of the project was working with Barbie Role Model and U.S. Olympic fencing medalist, Ibtihaj Muhammad. I art directed and styled the house and talent photo shoots, collaborating with a dream team to bring this DreamHouse to life.
