A sample of some of my work.
CBS Upfront After Party is the celebration of the announcement of CBS’s premiere and returning shows for the fall. Under the direction of CJD Creative, I created all of the print and digital assets featured at the party. This included, but was not limited to: step & repeats; illustrations; maps & way-finding assets; vinyl graphics; backdrops; digital screens.
Photos featured are a sample of the assets I generated for the event. Publishing is courtesy of CJD Creative and CBS.

I was tasked to design and animate all of the graphics.
Self initiated R&D project derived from previous 2D animation meant to propel the design language of the brand.
Video from Youtube's Black Fanfest 2018 at Howard University. I created sets of transitions utilizing 2D and 3D techniques for use in this intro video and as on-stage transitions. 2D and 3D assets were made in After Effects and Cinema 4D respectively.

Tribeca Enterprises was so kind as to tap me again to craft the TV Festival that occurs after the Film Fest. This year I handled the re-branding, social media campaign, and animated assets.
Below are some samples of the things I created.

Developed abstract illustrations in Cinema4D to create an on-brand content library for various uses and touchpoints.
The client asked me to create graphics for the venue hosting the Tribeca TV Festival in 2018. I was more than honored to take part of this project. In early collaboration with Nick Sienty, who developed the first round of deliverables and the social media campaign, I dealt with all of the venue graphics: motion, digital, and print.
Below is the work in situ on opening day.
Style frames and concept for a holographic UI that would be projected from a table-top.
Emerging from the center is a mysterious power source being rendered by the table. Other information shown: file classification numbers, active display edges, GPU-core array, and a visual representation of rotational data of the structure.
Below are some process images of converting the flat design into a 3D asset.
Explorations for a 3D physical user interface meant to navigate across solar systems. Inspired by the work of Larry Niven and Freeman Dyson.
Shown are different looks and style frames of theoretical energy harvesting systems—such as Dyson arrays, rings, and spheres— meant to collect as much energy as possible from a star.
Made in Cinema4D, rendered in Octane, composited in After Effects and Photoshop.
This is an exploration into stylized hand rigging and modelling.
Below are some process renderings and style frames.
Modeled and animated in Cinema4D, rendered using Octane, and composited using After Effects.
