Creative Direction, Design

—

Led a department of 10+ creatives (motion designers, video editors, illustrators, copywriters, media manager), and oversaw the daily execution of our Snapchat Discover channel. Provided creative direction on every aspect of our channel – design, typography, animation, video editing, copy writing, storytelling.

Refreshed and evolved the look and feel of our channel with new templates, animation usage, color palette and a truncated typeface library. Despite Snap’s global decrease in daily active users, we saw continued growth in all metrics (uniques, time spent and subscribers), with average daily unique viewers more than quadrupling in under two years.

Non-Profit

Design is most powerful when it can create change. Some of the projects I’ve done for non-profits like PETA are some of the most important work I’ve ever done.

Spotify, Brand Evolution Exercise

Creative Direction, Design

—

An exercise and unsolicited attempt to capture Spotify’s attention and land a job there. I pitched my case for evolving the logo to evenly weighted lines, changing their brand font to Avenir, simplifying copy on their ads to showcase talent with striking photography treated in a unique and identifiable way, and to broaden their landscape of streaming content to include comedians. Sadly, I never got a response.

Comedy Central Brand Identity

Art Direction, Design

—

As we finalized our brand refresh it was important to communicate our updated mission statement and brand pillars to the entire team – we did so with a custom brand book that would be given to every employee.

I designed the book, case and oversaw printing. I also created new permanent lobby art that incorporated a flexible and very cost effective system that allowed us to regularly update these rectangular “tiles” by covering old key art with current season art, or replacing outgoing series with incoming ones.
