Below are a few examples of projects I’ve worked on in a leadership role, along with the stories behind them.
NEW!
Wild Lights
Saint Louis Zoo
A Rankin/Bass-esque commercial created from storyboard to 3D animation about a flamingo named Fletcher, who had something even more powerful than VO and CTAs: emotions.
This project won a District 9 ADDY - Gold in 2024.
NEW!
VOLUME: Vol. 2
The Sheldon
St. Louis, MO
Vol. 2 packed in even more content, more pages, more covers (3 options!) more hidden treasures and more MOAR! I led and designed alongside a team of artists, and stirred up a 64-page blobby reimagining of VOLUME.
This project won an ADDY - GOLD (Publication Design) in 2024.
The World of Cat
Cat Schmitz
Brooklyn, NY
Bringing suitcases full of tiny accessories, props, shoes, marbles and bubbles, I had a blast creating whimsical photos in a prop studio somewhere in Brooklyn. Bubbles were blown, beach balls were inflated and a carousel horse was lowered from a balcony. Best of all, I got to meet a creative soulmate.
Unlock the Truth
Climate FieldView
Commodity Classic Tradeshow
Orlando, FL
I worked with a talented writer to devise a story, experience and social campaign for our clients’ trade show booth that revolved around a thinly veiled conspiracy theory about ancient aliens inventing digital farming technology 12,000 years ago. Very truthy!
This project won a Best of NAMAs - Merit (Live Exhibitions/Tradeshows) in 2024.
NEW!
We Need to
Talk Show
Paradowski
Can we talk? I named, branded and installed a 70’s-inspired talk show set where a grey corporate office vestibule once stood. The groovy graphics and far-out ambiance transformed a boring stairwell entrance into place to smoke cigarettes while doing your best Don Rickles impression.
LifeBridge
Southern Illinois
Healthcare Foundation
Brand, campaign materials, and an introductory documentary-style video for an initiative to improve health outcomes in the Greater Metro East region of Illinois.
NEW!
Mondele
Kayamba Films
Who do you call when you need someone to do wardrobe for your film about a Congolese kid finding his way between cultures in America? Me, obviously. In addition to wardrobe, I created promotional materials for Mondele. Coming to an independent theatre in St. Louis and beyond, Summer 2024.
