Center for Changing Lives: Pro Bono for Fundraiser

It’s my sincere pleasure and honor to be able to give back to my community at Logan Square's not for profit helping fight displacement and inequality. I donated my time and resources to create a 6:00+ video for a gala in October. I crafted the video to be able to live on in five smaller chunks to be used on social media for further financial support.

Potty Like a Superhero

My first job in Chicago was with this children’s book publisher so I was thrilled when they approached me to create a ‘trailer’ for this charming book.

Guardians of History

Moonshot by Pactera approached me with a tight deadline and budget and asked if I could write, direct, and produce a product demo for their new voice-centered game with Encyclopedia Brittanica. I cut the footage into three different videos of varying lengths to optimize their spend and align with best practices per channel where they’d be posting.

Moon Man

Sometimes, I get to let my hair down in the form of a wig and create sillier than usual videos in the vein Adult Swim. This video was to highlight my character in a New Year’s Eve murder mystery party at the Freehand Hotel.

Quick Shot Demo
Social Content

The collective HONOR by Huawei social platforms were a veritable firehose of content. I had to concept and produce several videos per week with little to no budget. This is one of my favorites. I ordered some costumes off of Amazon, grabbed a couple people from the office, and quickly shot and edited this homage to the West.
