  Motiongraphics Designer

  I work in-house and remotely for small and large businesses. Projects range from seconds to minutes, some entirely done start to finish and others in conjunction with a team.Below are some examples of recent work:BJ's Wholesale HeadquartersI worked full-time, in-house, under contract for Bj's Wholesale as their Motiongraphics Designer. I worked directly with the Creative Manager, Dereck Castellon, to work on internal videos, character designs, and animations to distribute among their 2000 employee building. We also pitched work to Rafeh Masood the SVP and Chief Digital Officer designs because of the importance of the image when distributing at this size.Oculus EntertainmentWorking on either sides of the continent with Nathan Hay, I received footage from their set, aligned audio, edited, and created tracked composited motiongraphics for a series of educational videos aimed at informing college goers on what they should know.StupidRaisensWorking with Dylan Higginbotham, I created template animations using Apple Motion. I had to learn the program on the fly and think tactically about how to construct the animations with my limited knowledge. My ability to adapt was matured within those multiple assignments.LIHEAPAlso known as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, LIHEAP contacted me to help show how so many people used their assistance to get back up on their feet. "Parallel Paths" was created to help the less fortunate understand how LIHEAP's services could help with their bills. We maintained solid communication throughout the process including checkpoints where I would show off progress and discuss. Show less

  Berlin Productions

  May 2013 - Nov 2013

  Motion Designer / Web Developer

  Berlin Productions hired me to take ownership over the video content of the company. It was my duty to produce for the company’s most valued clients such as The Blue Book and Wyndham’s chain ‘Microtel‘. I would frequently work with and direct designers to contribute their amazing talent for the videos. One such video was a commercial I created to promote a sweepstakes. The result was a seamless ad that adhered to the latest airing guidelines and brought in viewers online to participate (who we monitored and dealt the prizes). Show less
