A creative exploration into building dynamic environments from particle systems. I wanted to build painterly environments inspired by beautiful color palettes and details. Then I took the same thought process and applied that to figures to create interesting patterns and compositions. A work in progress.

I had the unique opportunity to Creative Direct two pieces for the UPS Store that will live on the MSG Sphere in las Vegas. They were technically complex projects balancing the technical issues of the Sphere and the creative for each brief. Each were unique. One was to build unique worlds to travel within from the inside of a UPS box, while the other was to create 8 bit pixel illustrations of iconic landscapes across the world fully animated and full of detail. The challenges were large, but the team was great so we were able to create two beautiful pieces.

I had the fun / challenging role of Creative Directing the screen and UI design for all of these Dell spots. A great deal of detailed and precise work across many pieces. All of these Dell pieces are trying to visualize AI and how it helps our lives. Designing and animating these moments have been really fun. As we worked with a great teams of designers, animators and producers to help keep the productions on track and to produce beautiful and engaging screens and interfaces. Integrating these design details into these beautifully shot, edited and composed pieces to help tell these Dell stories has been a really great experience.

The VIA agency approached us and wanted to team up to create 5 product driven spots. They are 20 second cg animations and vfx driven transitions that lead into live action. The product imagery showcased 5 products, revealing the beautiful details within each. Some of the shots are at a macro level, experiencing the products closeup. I love details and bringing 3d worlds to life.

I had the great opportunity to co-direct the live action. I travelled to Chile and teamed up with Amos Goss from the VIA agency. It was a large production. We worked with an amazing team in Chile and had a great time.

I designed, choreographed and Creative Directed the 3d animations for all 5 pieces (Scotch Plaid Flannel, Ultralight 850 Down Jacket, Wicked Good Slipper, Chamois-Lined Bean Boot, Shearling-Lined Bean Boot). It was a very complex endeavor and the team did beautiful work. I’m really proud of the work we did.

I worked with Director Murray Butler within the pitch/concepting phase to help visualize vfx/design oriented moments within the Shifting Threats Marines commercial. I and Lawrence Jones led a team of designers and matte painting artists to conceptualize moments within the script to help Murray win this pitch. Our efforts succeeded and he won the project. The final spot came out really well, was a beautiful piece. This is some of the design work I did for moments within the commercial of the landscape transforming and changing in an organic camouflage like pattern.

I had the opportunity to design the look and feel for a Riot Games Arcane promotional branding. The beautiful Netflix series launched in November is the subject of these designs. The styles were broken up into the two cities, Progress Days which had a minimal, elegant constructed aesthetic and Undercity Nights which had a magical, ominous and organic tone. The color palettes were blue/gold for Progress Days and green/pink for Undercity Nights. I had a lot of freedom to experiment to find the right aesthetics for both. It was a lot of fun to explore these worlds.

These designs will be animated and then used with game character artwork as background imagery for event branding to promote the series, characters and game promotions.

The headphones create an audio profile specific to each individual.  I was tasked to lead the design and create the visual representation of the "aura". 

It was a challenging exercise to figure out the right level of complexity and simplicity for the graphic element. The "aura" lives in the space and affects the actor through interactive lighting.
