“Soup’s On” Lunch Program
The Soup’s On program provides dependable lunches for school-aged children in need, supporting their health, learning, and future. Much of this work happens quietly behind the scenes. When the program needed additional funding, I created a video that made its impact visible to potential donors.
Animated History segment Visual Storytelling • Illustration • Animation
Southeast Helping Hands
The segment on the organization’s history was difficult to visualize since the only available reference material was a few pages in a local history book. I transformed the story into illustrated panels and animated them, turning that section in a graphically engaging visual story.

Atheist Community of Austin
When asked to host an interview segment in the middle of a 24-hour livestream fundraiser, I knew that a conventional Q&A would not engage viewers. Rather, I developed a Jeopardy-style game that used humour to engage the audience while creating opportunities for sincere discussion.

Brand Identity case study
“The Naked Mennonite” online and live theatre
I developed this visual identity to create a recognizable presence across my online content, promotional materials, and audience-support platforms.
The central character combines the likeness of Mennonite founder Menno Simons with Michaelangelo’s David, creating a visual juxtaposition between Mennonite modesty and natural human beauty. I used pink to represent humanity, purple to represent queerness, and stark black and white to evoke the worldview I came from.

Promotional design case study
Murder at the Sock Hop Marketing materials
This was the first interactive murder-mystery event I produced: a playful 1950s story inspired by the world of Grease. I worked with the actors to develop distinct characters, encouraging each performer to shape their own period look and personality. We then staged a promotional photo shoot at a local vintage store, using its saturated colours and authentic memorabilia to establish the event’s visual world.
Using photography from the original production, this retrospective case study explores five promotional applications for the event. The pieces draw on different facets of 1950s visual culture, including neon diner graphics, newsprint, pulp crime, and magazine design. They were created with a combination of Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator and basic coding.

Motion Graphics Highlights
Content Segments
Motion graphics allow me to extend a visual idea through movement, timing, sound and atmosphere. I use animation to support storytelling across promotional content, livestreams, video segments and web experiences.
These selected pieces combine illustration, photo compositing, animation, editing and audio production. They demonstrate how I use Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro and Audition to develop assets, build scenes and create polished motion content for different audiences and formats.
