CELSIUS

the last drop

Celsius is one of the largest energy drink companies in the business currently with a large number of different flavors of drinks. With this client I've produced advertisements and assets that specifically are designed to be interchangeable with different flavors that are used for Hulu ads or MLS jumbotron spots. In these projects I refined techniques for water and foam simulations as well as creating interchangable shots for ads.

INSTRUCTURE

instructurecon 2024

Instructurecon 2024 was an event held for educators and public institutions in Las Vegas, Nevada showcasing their newest updates and changes for their platform. They had a clear direction for the event - an Indiana Jones styled safari. I ended up developing and refining an inkblot technique as well as various motion graphic assets that were used throughout the event.

WDYS

what do you see?

In OGK's directed, written and produced short film for the Boca Center of the Arts "What do You See?" I was tasked with doing compositing and vfx work to clean/fix their shots. The highlights of the project included me recreating/simulating shadows, rotoscoping and tracking footage to create seamless vfx edits that would never be noticed.

HITOP HOOPS

hi-top hoops

Hi-top hoops is a basketball tournament organizer focusing on youth athletics and progressing the sport for all people of all genders and backgrounds. They have a specific style that is reminiscent of the 90s and I had the pleasure of translating that feeling into a series of logo animations for their tournaments in the 2024/2025 season.

ABOUT ME

hi! :]

I am a South Florida based digital artist with a love for telling stories and exploring new forms of representation.

I graduated in 2021 with my Master's Degree in Architecture - it was an incredible experience that really pushed me to think creatively and make dynamically. In school, and even now, my largest interest was finding, developing, refining techniques for story telling and digital representation.

In my career I'm centering all my focus, learning, and passion around a singular goal: to find ways I can foster community, connection and wonder through the things I make.

Fun Facts:
-I have a cat named after my favorite fruit, peaches
-I grew up playing travel soccer year round
-I love playing board + card games - my favorites are Root, Magic, and Viticulture
-Pikmin Bloom has been my hyperfixation recently (you should check it out if you run alot) x)
-Arcane has blown my mind in terms of story telling and technical animation - one of my fav animated shows ATM
