Center for Changing Lives: Pro Bono for Fundraiser
It’s my sincere pleasure and honor to be able to give back to my community at Logan Square's not for profit helping fight displacement and inequality. I donated my time and resources to create a 6:00+ video for a gala in October. I crafted the video to be able to live on in five smaller chunks to be used on social media for further financial support.

My first job in Chicago was with this children’s book publisher so I was thrilled when they approached me to create a ‘trailer’ for this charming book.

Guardians of History
Moonshot by Pactera approached me with a tight deadline and budget and asked if I could write, direct, and produce a product demo for their new voice-centered game with Encyclopedia Brittanica. I cut the footage into three different videos of varying lengths to optimize their spend and align with best practices per channel where they’d be posting.

Sometimes, I get to let my hair down in the form of a wig and create sillier than usual videos in the vein Adult Swim. This video was to highlight my character in a New Year’s Eve murder mystery party at the Freehand Hotel.

Social Content
The collective HONOR by Huawei social platforms were a veritable firehose of content. I had to concept and produce several videos per week with little to no budget. This is one of my favorites. I ordered some costumes off of Amazon, grabbed a couple people from the office, and quickly shot and edited this homage to the West.
