ABOUT ME


Portfolio


As a designer, I specialize in translating complex ideas into clear, impactful visuals that drive business growth. For OneIMS, I created an animation that breaks down their Growth Formula, simplifying advanced marketing strategies into an easy-to-understand narrative. This project showcases my ability to help businesses communicate their value proposition, improve brand messaging, and enhance customer engagement through thoughtful design.

If you're looking to scale your brand or refine your digital presence, I bring a creative and strategic approach to help you achieve your goals through design-driven solutions.

"Vintage Dream Music Video" is an animation I designed using Adobe Illustrator and After Effects, showcasing my ability to blend surreal, emotionally evocative visuals with music. Set to the enchanting sounds of “Vintage Dream” by Mathilda June, this project features haunting imagery—skulls, eyes, trumpets, and hearts—that reflect the dreamlike and nostalgic essence of the music. Without relying on a storyboard, I allowed the visuals to flow with the rhythm, creating an immersive experience that captivates viewers on an emotional level.

This project highlights my ability to interpret abstract ideas and create visuals that resonate with the audience, making it ideal for brands looking to evoke deep emotional connections through design.

"Echoes of Honor" is an intense animated short I designed using Adobe Illustrator and After Effects, following a young boy’s journey of revenge after the loss of his family. The project features carefully crafted visuals and immersive audio to create a memorable and emotionally resonant experience.

This animation involved screenwriting, detailed storyboarding, and professional voice acting to bring the story to life. My work demonstrates an ability to deliver engaging and visually impactful content that aligns with the emotional tone of a project.

Keith Nolan Estero Bay Preserve Poster Koreshan State Park

For the Estero Preserve at Koreshan State Park, I collaborated with the Florida State Park Service to design an engaging poster that educates visitors about the park's diverse biomes. Tasked with creating a visually compelling design to capture attention—since previous posters struggled to engage park-goers—I used vibrant colors and detailed illustrations to draw people in.

The poster highlights specific biomes with a focus on key species found in each. The first panel features a pine lily, native to the area. The second panel showcases a red-shouldered hawk, while the third panel highlights the endangered gopher tortoise, all strategically chosen to reflect the wildlife of the park. By blending educational content with eye-catching visuals, the goal was to create a more immersive and appealing experience for visitors.
