Video & Motion Graphics
I love turning ideas into eye-popping visuals that move—literally! Video, animation, and motion graphics let me combine all my favorite creative tools—design, illustration, 3D, and animation—into one storytelling powerhouse. From bold branding pieces to playful personal projects, I thrive on crafting content that connects with people. Everything you see here was built with love (and a lot of Adobe Creative Suite magic), using Premiere and After Effects for video post and 3DS Max for those shiny 3D moments.
This looping eye-catcher was made to shine on a video display at the company’s tradeshow booth—and yep, it was built to stop people in their tracks! I pulled in bold colors and on-brand graphics created in Illustrator and Photoshop, then brought everything to life in After Effects. With non-stop motion, slick text animations, and seamless transitions, the goal was simple: grab attention, keep it, and make people want to step into the booth.
Tradeshow Booth Reel


Say hello to Steamed—a quirky little animation that was my solo passion project from start to finish! I dreamed up the characters, modeled, textured, rigged, lit, animated… you name it, I did it. Everything was rendered in 3DS Max, then polished up in Premiere with some sound and timing magic to bring the whole piece to life. It was a beast of a project, but totally worth it—and a ton of fun to create. Hit play and enjoy the hijinx!
Short Animation
Darkness is another all-me, all-original passion project, built entirely from one of my own character designs. I handled everything—modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting, animation, sound, and post—because why not go all in? The animation was rendered in 3DS Max and features some seriously detailed lip-syncing to an audio clip from the movie Legend (bonus points if you know it). After that, I brought it all together in Adobe Premiere with sound and timing tweaks to really sell the mood. Hit play and let your inner villain out! Currently YouTube isn't blocking this video due to the audio clip, but if that changes - check it out here!

This slick little intro was cooked up as part of a rebrand for Ignitor Labs, designed to add some extra spark at the beginning (or end) of their marketing and training content. Built entirely in After Effects using the fresh new branding, it’s short, bold, and gets straight to the point—just the way an intro should be.
Branded Logo Intro

This intro video was created as part of a big rebranding push, welcoming viewers to a totally revamped training platform for the client. It rolled out the new branding, spotlighted fresh product offerings, and even introduced the new CEO—all with a casual, down-to-earth vibe that really clicked with the technician crowd. I combined live-action footage with motion graphics designed to feel relatable and real, making it easy for viewers to see themselves in the brand. It’s all about making that first impression feel personal—and this one did just that!
CEO Welcome

This video was all about breaking down the client’s main product categories in a clear and approachable way. It introduces each category’s purpose, pairs them with visuals for easy recognition, and ties everything together with motion graphics that align with the updated branding. The tone stays grounded and practical, crafted to resonate with technicians—whether they’re flying solo or part of a team. Clean, informative, and visually organized, it’s designed to make complex offerings feel simple and accessible.
