Highlights of my motion design and animation work, featuring projects for brands like Marvel, Intuit, Blue-Cross and large-scale displays in Times Square—showcasing both creative vision and technical execution.
Safari Surfer Characters
For this project I created hundreds of highly detailed, loop-able animations for a cast of quirky animal surfers, each with custom rigs, personality-driven cycles, and stylized motion. Led animation and rigging workflows across dozens of characters, delivering a polished, modular animation library for use in digital collectibles and motion-driven campaigns.

Marvel AR and Comic Trailers
As a contract motion designer for Marvel Entertainment, I produced a wide range of animated content to support their print and digital publishing campaigns. This included official comic book trailers for major titles such as Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy, blending dynamic movement, stylized transitions, and comic artwork into short-form promotional videos.
I also played a key role in developing content for Marvel AR, an augmented reality initiative that allowed readers to scan comic panels with their phones and view interactive animations tied directly to the issue they were reading. These animations required careful panel breakdown, layered parallax motion, and animated typography to create immersive, in-universe experiences. Over the course of several years, I delivered dozens of videos that expanded the storytelling potential of Marvel’s printed comics and helped define their early digital motion graphics strategy.

3D Motion Design & Logo Animation
This collection highlights a range of 3D motion design projects, including logo animations, cinematic title sequences, and experimental visuals. Built using a combination of Blender, After Effects, and Cinema 4D, these animations explore depth, texture, and lighting in both client-facing work and personal experiments. Projects featured here include opening credits for the short film Alpha Initiative, animated logos for web3 campaigns like Meta Travelers, and a variety of test renders and motion studies that showcase 3D integration into real-time and composited environments.
Whether used in intros, promos, or digital branding packages, these projects reflect my evolving skillset in 3D space and my interest in merging motion graphics with immersive design tools.

Intuit (TurboTax, Mint)
This collection features a range of animated explainer videos and promotional content created for Intuit’s flagship brands, TurboTax and Mint. The animations were designed to clarify and showcase financial tools in a way that was visually compelling and easy to understand. These projects were developed for social media campaigns, web-based initiatives, and broader digital marketing efforts. Each piece was tailored to engage users across different platforms, helping to boost visibility and communicate key product benefits through accessible, high-quality motion design.
High-Visibility Digital Signage & Billboard Animations
I’ve created high-impact digital signage and animated billboards featured in some of the most recognizable locations in the country—including Times Square and the NASDAQ Tower in New York City. These animations were designed for massive LED installations and video displays, combining bold visuals, dynamic motion, and brand storytelling that stands out in high-traffic, high-stakes environments.
Personalized Video Campaigns for Fortune 500 Brands
This series of projects centered around creating custom animated video templates built in Adobe After Effects for enterprise clients. Each master animation was designed to automatically generate thousands of personalized customer videos, dynamically inserting individual data such as names, account details, and financial information. These scalable video systems powered personalized marketing campaigns for major national brands, combining creative storytelling with data-driven automation to deliver a highly customized viewer experience at scale.
This work highlights not only creative execution, but also deep technical knowledge in scalable media systems and personalized content delivery—key components in modern digital communication strategies.

Video Game Assets & Animation
This collection showcases my creative work in game animation and asset development, featuring both promotional trailers and in-game content. Projects include stylized animations and dynamic motion graphics for major titles like Best Fiends, Clash Royale, and Meta Travelers. In addition to client work, this section features original assets and gameplay elements created for indie game projects, including Multiplication Dominator, a Python-based educational adventure, and a custom Adobe Premiere plugin built to streamline game-related video production. The focus across these pieces is on vibrant animation, responsive design, and integration into interactive digital environments.
