Video, Animation & Motion Design
Bringing products, brands, and ideas to life through motion.
Motion allows ideas to be explained in ways static imagery can't. Throughout my career, I've used video and animation to educate customers, demonstrate products, create advertising, communicate brand stories, and build engaging digital experiences. My work spans concept development, storyboarding, filming, animation, editing, compositing, sound design, and final production.

Digital Download Assembly Demonstration
Video Production • Motion Graphics • Product Education • Compositing
Production Overview
My ROLE
Creative Director, Videographer & Editor
Industry
Digital Products, E-Commerce
Challenge
Create a clear visual demonstration that taught customers how to assemble our digital download designs while reinforcing the unique production method that became the foundation of our product line.
This instructional video walks customers through the complete assembly process used for our digital download products. Rather than relying solely on written instructions, I wanted customers to see every step exactly as we performed it ourselves.
The production method demonstrated in the video was developed specifically for Forged Flare® and became the standard process used across our digital download collection. It continues to influence how we manufacture products today.
I filmed, edited, and composited the entire production.

Consumer Products
Challenge
Demonstrate the flexibility and customization of the DejaDoodles product line in a fun, easy-to-understand format.
This video showcased the interchangeable hairstyles, outfits, and accessories available within the DejaDoodles collection.
The product line was designed specifically for the cruise ship door decoration community, where customers enjoyed personalizing magnetic decorations for family vacations. The animation quickly demonstrated how easily pieces could be mixed and matched while communicating the playful personality of the brand.
I filmed, illustrated, animated, composited, and edited the project.
Product 360° Showcase
Product Photography • Motion Video • E-Commerce • Lighting
Production Overview
My ROLE
Creative Director, Photographer & Video Producer
Industry
E-Commerce
Challenge
Help online shoppers better understand the physical construction and craftsmanship of our products without being able to see them in person.
One of the biggest challenges of selling handcrafted products online is helping customers understand what they're actually purchasing. Many assumed the colored areas were simply printed onto a flat surface and didn't realize each Mother’s Angels® ornament is built from three separate layers.
To better communicate the product, I developed a rotating 360° presentation using a motorized display stand, custom lighting, and photography equipment. The resulting videos reveal the layered construction, freestanding design, mirrored front and back artwork, branded reverse side, and the way light interacts with the different materials.
These videos are displayed alongside every Mother’s Angels® ornament on our website to help customers make more informed purchasing decisions.
Meta Ad Campaign
Advertising • Video Production • Art Direction • Social Media
Production Overview
My ROLE
Creative Director, Videographer, Editor & Producer
Industry
Digital Advertising
Challenge
Capture attention within the first few seconds of a social media advertisement while redefining customer expectations of what "handmade" can look like.
These advertisements were created as part of an A/B testing campaign on Meta. Rather than presenting handcrafted products in the traditional "craft fair" style often associated with handmade businesses, the goal was to stop users from scrolling and immediately communicate that Forged Flare® offered something unexpected.
I directed, filmed, edited, and assembled both advertisements while collaborating with a musician who created an original musical score specifically for the campaign.

Challenge
Create an engaging homepage experience that immediately communicated the personality of the DejaDoodles brand.
This animated website hero combined original illustrations, animation, and motion graphics into a continuous looping experience that introduced visitors to the DejaDoodles product line.
Created specifically for the homepage, the animation established the playful cruise-inspired personality of the brand while supporting messaging that appeared alongside the animation.
Every illustration, animation, and composited element was created by me.
Handcrafted Process Storytelling
Brand Storytelling • Video Production • Product Marketing
Production Overview
My ROLE
Creative Director, Videographer & Editor
Industry
E-Commerce
Challenge
Help customers understand the craftsmanship behind each product while reinforcing the value of buying from a small business.
Rather than focusing solely on the finished ornament, this video highlights the hands-on process behind creating a Mother’s Angels® ornament. Featuring our bestselling Monarch Butterfly design, it visually demonstrates how each ornament is assembled layer by layer.
The goal was to bring a human element into our marketing by showing that every piece is individually handcrafted rather than mass produced. The video has been used across multiple marketing channels and product listings to strengthen customer trust and communicate the care behind each product.

Create an original promotional animation inspired by Kingsman: The Golden Circle that would stand out among international submissions.
Created as part of an international creative competition sponsored by 20th Century Fox and Talenthouse, this promotional animation reimagined the visual style and energy of Kingsman: The Golden Circle through original motion graphics.
The piece was animated entirely in Adobe Photoshop.
The animation was awarded first place among international entries and became part of the film's official marketing campaign in the United Kingdom.

Method Products
Stop Motion Animation
Production Overview
My ROLE
Concept, Design, Paper Artist, Animator & Photographer
Industry
Consumer Products
Challenge
Create a visually engaging stop-motion animation that celebrated the playful personality of the Method brand.
This promotional concept explored stop-motion animation using handcrafted paper elements. Beginning with a Method soap bottle design, the animation shows soap being dispensed before transforming into a series of colorful paper flowers.
From concept through execution, I designed and built the paper artwork, photographed each frame, and produced the final stop-motion animation.
Although this concept was not selected, it remains one of my favorite examples of combining illustration, paper engineering, photography, and animation into a single project.
