Project Overview

Discovering New Methods

When I took on this project is was just a simple illustration project, though when I had the idea to vectorize the design, I discovered a whole new method of illustrating via colored geometry. While mosaics are nothing new themselves, this was the first time I’d personally discovered it’s beauty in a digital environment. The result of geometrizing elevated its final look.

Project Overview

Inspiring Around the Globe

The core goal of the Inspire campaign was to reach multiple nationalities and unite humanity for the good of space exploration. The children of today are the astronauts who will be helping the effort to colonize Mars. We need to do everything we can to nurture the wonder of space in children.

The Final Product

A Dramatic Opening

Feel yourself immersed in the drama of this gut-wrenching and dark movie with this opening credit sequence. All the footage was produced in-house and edited together for the final trailer.

Sound Design

Bring The Bang

While editing the footage for this teaser trailer study, some original audio was not crisp enough to fit well with the overlaid music, or there was already a conflicting sound score. Because of this extensive research was done finding new sound effects to edit into some scenes. Most firearm sound effects were re-added to the audio which required finding matching sounds from the same firearms to maintain a believable effect.

The Final Product

A Kick A** Trailer

This teaser trailer is designed to prep you for the heart-stopping action for the 80’s action spoof Kung Fury. The style of the trailer perfectly fits with the base content of the movie. Those cheesy scene changes, rasterized graphics, and the VHS quality we all remember are artificially added to immerse you into the story fully.

Project Overview

A Comic With No Words

Axios is a comic about self-growth expressed using not a single word. Silent comics are a bit of an underground community but nothing new. Sometimes a story can be more impactful when the reader has to see the story instead of it being fed to them via dialogue.

Concept

Early Development

From the beginning, planning was paramount to the story being understood. Every single frame of the comic was written numbered and planned to fit into each page. Everything fits into its designed place.

Project Overview

Gold.e, Our Sarcastic AI Secretary

I built a customized bot to act as a secretary and mascot for KUDC. She helps verify users, answer questions, crack jokes, supply maps of the campus, and act as the face of KUDC. The community loves her witty responses and sudden interjections into conversations. She’s quirky and perfect.

Helping The Community

Getting Through COVID Together

KUDC was launched in late 2019 before the word coronavirus was a common term, but when KU was sent home indefinitely after spring break 2020, we knew we had a duty to help our fellow students feel like they still had a community to rely on. Before January 2020 KUDC boasted a humble 50 members, but since the chaos of the pandemic, we experienced numbers as mighty as 600+ students and alumni. The KUDC staff and I have received lots of compliments and feedback from our community about how much we helped stabilize a fracturing and anxious campus community through our efforts at KUDC.
