    YouTube Openers | The Potter's House of Dallas

    One of my favorite projects, this series of four animated openings was created for The Potter’s House YouTube channel. My goal was to engage a younger audience through bold, avant-garde color palettes while honoring the legacy of Bishop’s long-standing sermons. The result is a rotoscope-style collage that blends modern motion design with archival visuals to create a vibrant, spiritually resonant intro sequence.

    Woman Evolve 2023 Live Conference Graphics Package

    As the Lead Designer and Animator for Woman Evolve 2023, I developed a complete broadcast design package for one of the largest women’s conferences in the U.S., attended by over 40,000 women at Globe Life Field.

    Working from a color palette and AI-generated photography provided by stylist J. Bolin, I designed and animated a cohesive visual system centered on femininity, faith, and generational beauty. Each day of the conference featured its own unique color scheme and theme, creating a dynamic yet unified experience across all visual elements.

    The final deliverables included 150+ lower thirds, 100+ full-screen graphics, 4K LED panels, promo videos, bumpers, and screen reels, all created in After Effects. The result was a bold, uplifting visual identity that supported the conference’s mission to empower women through God and sisterhood.
