    uniE608 Blueprint
    Client: Norwegian Cruise Line Agency: VIVA Creative As Lead Creative on Norwegian Cruise Line’s PR1MA campaign, I directed and executed high-end motion design for Blueprint — a visually dynamic hero piece introducing the ship’s architectural ambition and next-generation experience at sea. Designed to feel bold and future-facing, the spot blends cinematic footage, precision typography, and layered motion graphics to showcase the ship’s expansive open-air concepts, elevated design, and category-defining amenities. The challenge was to create a visual system that mirrored the innovation of the vessel itself — modern, confident, and structurally intentional. Through tightly integrated compositing, rhythmic editorial pacing, and refined graphic transitions, Blueprint established a forward-looking tone for the broader “Be The First” campaign and positioned PR1MA as a new blueprint for contemporary cruising. The result was a high-impact launch asset supporting one of the most anticipated ship debuts in Norwegian Cruise Line history.…
    uniE608 Comfort Cooking
    Client: Albertson's Producer: QUAD Graphics This animated commercial for Albertsons features food characters, including a taco, spaghetti man, and hamburger, jamming out on utensil-shaped instruments in front of a cheering audience. The charming character animation and upbeat energy make this ad a fun and engaging way to showcase Albertsons' lively and fresh brand personality. Ideal for viewers who love playful, food-inspired animation.…
    uniE608 Time
    Client: ACE Hardware Agecy: GSD&M or Ace Hardware’s national 90th anniversary spot, I led motion graphics, color, select VFX, and sound design for a concept-driven commercial that follows a single character traveling seamlessly through nine decades of history. Each era was meticulously crafted to reflect its cinematic identity — from scratchy, high-contrast film reminiscent of early Laurel & Hardy–style reels, to warm, textured 1970s tones, and finally into a clean, contemporary modern aesthetic. The challenge was ensuring every transition felt immersive and authentic while maintaining narrative continuity across shifting visual styles. Blending live action with era-specific motion treatments, color grading, and subtle VFX, the piece celebrates Ace’s legacy as a trusted presence across generations. The final result was a visually dynamic tribute that honored 90 years of craftsmanship while reinforcing the brand’s enduring relevance in homes and communities nationwide.…
    uniE608 Instant Prizes
    Client: Albertsons Agency: QUAD Graphics I contributed motion graphics and post-production across a series of national broadcast and digital spots supporting Albertsons’ fully digital Monopoly campaign — a multi-week promotional rollout spanning several major U.S. grocery chains. This marked the first all-digital version of the long-running Monopoly program, introducing QR-driven app downloads, simplified messaging, and a streamlined user experience. The creative needed to feel fresh and high-energy while maintaining the recognizability of an iconic promotional property. Through dynamic animation, brand-integrated graphics, and polished compositing, the campaign emphasized instant rewards and frictionless participation. The results exceeded expectations: over 820,000 QR scans within the first three weeks, more than 2.3 million registered players, a 120% year-over-year increase in ticket scans, and over $81 million in prizes awarded during the promotional period. The campaign demonstrated how thoughtful motion design and clear digital-first storytelling can modernize a legacy promotion at national scale.…
    uniE608 Helmet
    Client: Honda Agency: We Are Mighty For Honda’s military appreciation campaign, I contributed across both production and post — serving on set in a producer capacity while also leading motion graphics and post-production for the final spot. The concept centered on a miniature Honda vehicle animated to drive across the helmet of a service member — a visual metaphor connecting the brand’s offer with the individuals it honors. Because the effect required precise integration between live action and CG animation, I worked closely with the production team during filming to guide framing, movement, and lighting decisions to ensure seamless post execution. The final piece blended practical footage with clean compositing and subtle motion work, resulting in a memorable, concept-driven visual that elevated a promotional message into something playful yet respectful.…
    uniE608 The Fun Song
    Client: Kimberly-Clark | Featuring Christina Milian Agency: Latinworks For Kimberly-Clark’s national promotion featuring Christina Milian, I led editorial, motion graphics, and visual effects to transform behind-the-scenes studio footage into a high-energy branded music experience. The campaign invited customers to write and record their own song with Milian at the height of her mainstream popularity. Working within a lean production structure, I elevated the material through dynamic pacing, bold typographic treatments, tracking-based VFX, and an MTV-inspired visual style. What could have been a straightforward promotional recap became a vibrant, music-driven piece that felt culturally relevant and performance-ready. By cutting directly to Milian’s tracks and enhancing the footage with stylized color and graphic overlays, the final video captured the excitement of the experience while delivering a polished, broadcast-quality finish. The piece generated strong engagement and showcased how thoughtful post-production can amplify both celebrity talent and brand energy.…
    uniE608 LEEPS App Launch
    Client: LEEPS | Public Safety Technology I led the complete end-to-end creation of the LEEPS app launch campaign — from initial concept and scripting through branding, logo development, production, post-production, and final delivery. Designed for law enforcement and first responders, LEEPS is a health and safety application that integrates with Apple and Android smartwatches to monitor vital signs in real time, transmitting critical data back to local stations for rapid backup during high-risk situations. The launch video needed to communicate innovation, urgency, and trust — while remaining clear and accessible to municipal stakeholders. Blending live action with motion graphics, I crafted a visual system that balanced technical functionality with emotional stakes. In addition to directing the creative and editing, I handled voiceover, visual identity development, and overall brand positioning. The result was a fully realized product launch asset that established the brand’s credibility and communicated its life-saving potential with clarity and impact.…
    uniE608 The Northeast Kingdom
    Client: Dark Rye Production: Whole Foods Market I edited and shaped this intimate documentary short centered on brothers Andy and Mateo Kehler of Jasper Hill Farm in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Set against the quiet beauty of the region’s landscape, the film explores craftsmanship, partnership, and the deep sense of place that defines both their cheese and their lives. In addition to editing, I led sound design and script refinement, crafting a natural rhythm that allowed the story to unfold with authenticity and restraint. The goal was to balance stunning cinematography with a grounded emotional core — letting the environment, process, and personalities speak without overstatement. The film was nominated at both the Chicago Film Festival and the New York Film Festival, recognizing its understated storytelling and cinematic tone.…
    uniE608 Dream with Me
    Artists: GOBI, Atlas Neon & Celina Label: Oontzy Productions For GOBI’s “Dream With Me,” I led post-production, motion graphics, and select visual effects for a surreal, desert-shot music video produced in Austin, Texas. The project blends atmospheric storytelling with haunting electronic tones, building tension through cinematic pacing and immersive visual treatment. Shot across striking Central Texas locations, the video unfolds as a disorienting dream sequence — balancing stark desert landscapes with stylized action and subtle VFX enhancements. My role focused on shaping the final narrative through edit rhythm, environmental color grading, graphics integration, and visual polish to heighten the emotional and surreal tone of the piece. Premiered locally in Austin, the video was well received within the city’s creative community, reflecting a collaborative, independent production rooted in strong visual storytelling and mood-driven execution.…
