App How To's

In graduate school I took an intro Animation course as well as a Sound Design class. Together these classes armed me with the basics necessary to help elevate my skills as a Designer to the next level. Feeling comfortable in a complex system like After Effects for animation made learning InVision and Flinto a way easier undertaking. Having some basic animation skills makes it even easier to communicate product ideas with interactive prototypes and simple how-to walk throughs.

Logo Builds

I also enjoy using After Effects to add motion to logos that can then be integrated into other video sources to wrap branded content.

Animated Type

I love words! Is that weird? Sometimes you can't find the right image to tell your story – that's where animated type comes into play. This was a quick project overview that I created to be displayed as a part of my Thesis presentation. The video played on an iPad at my station, allowing guests to learn more about the project, without disrupting the gallery with sound.

Sound Design + Illustration (just for laughs)

This was a school project (Sound Design) but still makes me laugh to this day. I wrote the story and illustrated all of the frames, recorded VO's, and animated the final piece. If you need a good laugh, press play and check out Pablo the rapping pigeon. Enjoy!

Surprise Celebration Videos

Covered was a business a friend and I started to bring to life custom celebratory videos for people’s loved ones. The client would pick a song and share stories about the video recipient. We would come up with lyrics that told the recipient’s story and remix them into the song of choice. Although the project management of assigning lyrics, video collection, and final video composition was tedious, there was nothing more fun than seeing the recipient’s reaction when they saw their custom video.
