I was brought onboard by The Mill Chicago to help produce these 15 seconds of a 90 sec commercial for Huawei.

I was brought onboard to help concept and animate content for an Oculus display for Best Buy.
My particular focus was on creating abstract designs with the Oculus logo, what they call the “Stadium”, and incorporating into game worlds as well as finding creative ways to “dive” into the game through the Stadium.
Ultimately, it was my responsibility to animate the interactive sections of the display. As a user swiped across, the animation would play with the speed of their touch until it landed onto the next key pose. Options to activate pages for controllers, audio, screen specs and ergonomics would activate depending on the key pose.

SPILLT brought me on to work on the Internet spot for their Spectrum Cross Channel campaign.
Following the design created by Miles Petrock, I developed the boards and ultimately, the fully animated final product.
For a complete breakdown, check out Spillt's case study:
Six weeks prior to the NFL Kickoff for the 2016 season, the decision was made to completely replace the previous scoreboard graphics package with something new.
As the Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50 on the strength of their defense, I made it a point to reflect that same relentless defensive mentality on the design of the scoreboard rebrand. This meant a lot of fire, metal, shaking cameras, with a dash of futurism to create a juxtaposition of aggression and color.
At the end of the day, this included new Team Matchups, Scoring Animations, Sponsored replay wipes, Backgrounds, Logo rockers, Crowd prompts, and a multitude of other deliverables for different sizes and screens.
For the first time, the NFL requested video content from the teams participating in the Super Bowl.
Of the content sent over, these videos were selected to be played during the game.
"Domination" was used as the entrance for the team at Opening Night.
"Relentless Discipline" was played during the game.
Bluebird Botanicals approached me to produce their bottle renders for their CBD products.
It was a fun challenge getting the renders to look exactly as the client needed them for their online store.
Each bottle was modeled based on blueprints and physical reference.
I was asked to animate the design elements for TEDxMileHigh's winter event, Reset.
I've always been a huge fan of TED talks and after my 3rd event, I reached out to whoever would listen and offered to help as my way of thanking them for the inspiration they supply me at every event.
Concept art for a fictional film called “Post Human”.
I used this project as a vessel for practicing robotic character and vehicle design.
I've had a successful relationship with the University of Notre Dame.
Here are a collection of projects I've worked on with them.
I primarily work on their football team's graphical needs, such as scoreboard and social media assets. However, I was brought on to develop and deliver a full show package for their annual "Echoes" award ceremony.
While working on Spectrum Cross Channel, SPILLT asked me to help out with their open video for the Atlanta Hawks.
With my past experience with sports, it very much felt like stepping into an old shoe.
My contributions on this project were primarily design boards and animation for the middle section of the video where the court opens and drops into an abyss before the mascot flies up to knock on the court.
The rest was done by the talents of Harrison Vincent, Brian Long, Jason Linn, and Hollee Winans.
