Various work done with brands, agencies, and friends.
Addepar
Addepar is a financial data and wealth management platform. As a senior motion designer, I helped define and implement scalable video across the business.
With the creative design team, we supplemented in-person demos by creating a 4 part series of sales enablement videos. We produced a platform overview video that uses modular assets to scale across enterprise clients. We also increased email engagement by 15% by including animated product impressions.
The creative team at Addepar used motion to create flexible narratives around a complex product and speak directly to users' individual needs.
Klaviyo
While contracting as a senior motion designer at Klaviyo, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of customer-facing projects.
In Q1 of 2024, I worked on an AI launch campaign, tradeshow booth videos, year-in-review emails, and animated product illustrations.
These visuals are helping inform Klaviyo customers about the value of the platform. The product animations are telling complex stories in a digestible way.
Shopify Shop App
Shopify created a new comprehensive identity for their app, Shop. As a result, a need for motion arose when telling their story of sustainability.
We approached the project to explore the Shop identity, starting with its most essential parts and expanding into branded illustrations. We developed a practical, straightforward style to speak to Shop’s carbon offset efforts.
These visuals are helping Shop customers understand their own environmental impact when online shopping and how Shop App supports their green initiatives.
Baron Watch Co
As one half of the partnership at Baron Watch Co., I’m responsible for all aspects of the brand, marketing, and design. This includes the brand, identity, website, social, product imagery, video, and even watch design.
You can see the Website here and Instagram here.
With Baron Watch Company in its infancy, we’ve decided to focus on brand awareness and organic social. Even still, we’ve sold quite a few watches and made even more friends.
Polycade
Polycade is on a mission to build community through gaming. With the introduction of a new line of products, they took to Kickstarter for an official launch.
We crafted a narrative focused on connections created through the golden age of gaming. We used a variety of media to tell the Polycade story of togetherness and a unified product line. The illustrations featured were created by Ben Lopez.
We created individual pieces of content that connected to form one consistent narrative. Each piece was used on social media to support the campaign leading up to the launch.
Hot Sauce Studio
While operating a small studio, I developed this promotional video to attract new clients, market myself, and flex creatively.
While working for myself at Hot Sauce Studio, I was responsible for marketing, selling, hiring, and executing on design projects.
Night Visions
These vignettes we’re developed for the vapor wave album Night Visions by the artist VCRnot. Each visual loops perfectly and is displayed with each track on Spotify.
Upside Business Travel
As a contract creative at Upside, I crafted a narrative that focuses on how easily Upside scaled personal behaviors in a business travel setting without lowering expectations.
Our deliverables included a brand video, an illustration library, and a website refresh. The illustrations featured were created by Ben Lopez.
The content we created won a Telly award, but unfortunately, Upside closed its business during COVID-19.
Mark Lauren
The Mark Lauren Training App is a video-streaming workout app by best-selling fitness author Mark Lauren. Brave People contracted me to create motion content to promote the training app and facilitate brand awareness for their client, Mark Lauren.
The motion content produced was intended to be functional, efficient, and echo the meaning of the new brand identity. The motion system created brought each brand element to life.
Maku
While working with video production company Meridian, I helped shape this CBD company’s brand identity in motion.
The motion design system created informed how the identity appeared in video content across marketing channels.
The motion identity speaks to the client's unique product and the desired effects. We crafted a beautiful identity system that invokes a sense of harmony and calmness.
Royal Carribean
This was paid spec work completed with the agency Brave People. I helped bring this trip planner to life and showcase how guests can make the most of their cruise.
Destination
This personal project represents time spent traveling across Italy. Food not included. Travelling can be so inspiring, and these visuals manifested as digital prints that we’re gifted to my fellow travelers.
Vimvest
This explainer video was completed with the agency Brave People. I helped provide script guidance and produced the final video.
Drive Safe
This personal project was sold as a 1 of 1 artwork on the Foundation app. The outrun genre is soaked in nostalgia and the work brings me back to my childhood gaming adventures.
