This is a YouTube thumbnail for my animation podcast, Making Imagination. I had created a thumbnail template to use for each episode. This image features artwork from animated project on which this particular artist worked.
HOPECOMMUNITYPROJECT.ORG | This was an image I'd designed while I was with Haiti Orphan Project (now Hope Community Project). I was given a number of statistics and information that needed to be included, so I laid this information out in a way that would read clearly and look appealing.
WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE (2026) | Working within a blackbox studio, I had a three-camera setup for a live-streamed concert & conversation event: 1) Master shot on a slider, 2) Panning MCU and CU shot on the host and band members and instruments, 3) Panning MCU and CU on the band members and instruments. Note the high angle for the master shot, as compared to the lower concept design. The reason for that was that we had to crop out the low-hanging lights above the talent. So, I raised up the slider and tilted downward.
WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE (2026) | Working within a blackbox studio, I had a two-camera setup for a pre-recorded online retreat. The image in the background is being cast by a projector, and it was swapped, per video, to ensure appropriate imagery.
WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE (2026) | Working within a blackbox studio, I had a three-camera setup in a very tight space for a live-streamed conversation. Note the high angle wide shot. That was done to crop out the low-hanging lights above the talent. Here, we set up cameras that could pan to capture different talent, as needed.
This was a personal thumbnail I designed for a series for which I was editor and animation director.
This was a poster I put together for a church congregation.
CARVERS (SYFY) | I put this poster together after working on the TV pilot episode. Pulling from individual photos of these sculptures, I arranged these images into a poster that I thought would work for the series.
These images are two versions of the same wheel. Working with a faculty member at WashU, an instructional designer and I wanted to know what concepts were frequently misunderstood. Her answer was "the feedback loop." I worked with her to design this visual aid. I believe she ended up using the version on the left.
This image was a redesign challenge. I was given a flat image of this particular process and asked to redesign it to demonstrate my design skills. I retained the main colors (dulling them a bit) and gave the chart a more three-dimensional/tactile feel.
This was a concept movie poster I put together for a feature film set in Haiti. It was my response to witnessing Haiti's poverty up close. I crafted a concept about three children, separated after the 2010 earthquake, who find each other again (at the instigating of the eldest, the "shepherd.").
WEBSITE CONCEPT | This was a concept web page I'd created, I believe, in tandem with a TV series concept while I was at Coolfire Studios.
COOLFIRE FOUNDATION | These are two separate designs promoting different events. The design on the left promoted the newly-established Coolfire Foundation. The one on the right promoted a movie-themed 5K race. Another designer had designed the "Hollywood Hustle" text treatment that I then used to build the rest of the flyer/poster.
This was a lifetime appreciation poster for my grandfather's funeral when he passed away. I put it together fairly quickly, but the family found it meaningful.
This was a series poster I'd created for a men's travel show. Pulling from scenes from the series, I crafted this montage to give a sense of the journey on which that the series takes the viewer.
These banner designs are images I'd created when Facebook was still using vertical banners. The banners feature Nicktoons' animated series Voltron Force, Keane Insurance Group, and eQuoteMD, respectively. The idea with each was to vary the designs and tones.
I was asked to design a map of the United States for a men's travel series. While these, ultimately, weren't the right flavor, I went for something modern and casual.
