FESTIVAL MOTION GRAPHICS

In collaboration with DJ C-SIK, I produced motion graphics that were displayed during his DJ set at BADLANDS Music Festival 2024 in Calgary, Alberta. 3D animation was done in Blender and Adobe After Effects was utilized for 2D animation and compositing.

RADIANT DENTAL PROMO REELS

Promotional videos for a dental office made for the purpose of posting on their social media channels. Shot by myself and edited with Adobe Premiere Pro.

EVENT MOTION GRAPHICS LOOP

I used Blender for 3D modelling, texturing, rigging, and animation combined with compositing in After Effects to create this video loop displayed live at a club event called IDK PARTY.

RADIANT DENTAL LOGO ANIMATION

A logo animation for a dental office opening in April 2024. The logo was built in Adobe Illustrator and animated in After Effects. Sound effects were added in Premiere Pro. The final animation was delivered to the client in several colour palettes.

IDK PARTY 10/20/23 RECAP VIDEO

Intended for mature audiences
Serving as an event recap as well as promotional material for the next event, I shot footage on location, edited and colour-graded in Adobe Premiere Pro, and added a bloom effect in Adobe After Effects.

SCRAPBOOK EVENT MOTION GRAPHICS LOOP

This loop was displayed live during a club event. I used Adobe Photoshop to stylize and prepare my assets and then put everything together in After Effects. I made heavy use of the Wiggle expression and Posterize Time to maintain a scrapbook-like animation style akin to that of the marketing material for the event.

Using Adobe Illustrator to construct the elements, and After Effects to animate, I created this logo animation for The Body Shop for a school assignment, while strictly adhering to their brand guidelines. It is meant to be used at the end of a video as an outro.

TIKTOK USERS - EXPLAINER VIDEO

Using Cinema 4D, Adobe Illustrator, and After Effects, I created an explainer video that reports on the count of TikTok's massive user base. This animation blends the use of 3D animation with 2D animation.

About me!

Hey! I'm a graduate of Red River College Polytech’s Digital Media Design - Video/Motion Graphics Program.Growing up in the early days of YouTube inspired me to get out and create with what was available to me. As the years went on, I grew to love the feeling of creating meaningful content, and the euphoria of executing my vision as I saw it in my mind.As I continue in my career, I hope to use my skills in editing, colour grading, VFX compositing, and motion design to bring this same inspiration to others in any capacity.I love the ability that media has to change and inspire us. When I'm not creating, you can find me enjoying the creations of others, whether that's endlessly scrolling through TikTok, cracking down on my Letterboxd watchlist, or discovering new music while on a walk!
