HostKit: Get Served

Host Kit provides an extremely simple way to equip people with their own “sandbox” Virtual Private Servers. Developed by Zeunic, an Orlando Web Studio, it lacked branding and promotional elements. I created a cohesive and expansive branding package and marketing campaigns to aid the project in gaining leverage and exposure in the market.

'Lego' Nocturne de Lumière

Coming straight from BT's new 2010 album, These Hopeful Machines, this music video combines my signature Lego stop-frame animation style with BT's pure musical genius. Over 3,600 images were shot over the course of 3 weeks and compiled in Premiere Pro and After Effects. Many-a-night's sleep was lost during this process, but it was worth it!

Zeunic Web Branding

Zeunic injects creativity, passion and energy into everything they do. Their branding had to convey this idea across all brand touch points. I solved this by utilizing a warm color palette for brand elements, visualizing various swirls of energy and flowing gradients, and depicting a lightning bolt in the logo and throughout marketing materials.

Welcome to Ocean Country

The City of Nesoi is a prototype for a luxurious floating ecosystem at sea. Nesoi, meaning "goddess of the islands," originates from Greek mythology and was the entire concept behind the city's architecture and branding. Nesoi was designed and developed to be the perfect city with the world's most sustainable and efficient isolated ecosystem.

Technology Meets Nature

What better way to merge technology and nature than with a digital painting over a natural, hand-drawn sketch? This piece, featured on a skateboard deck, represents nature's beauty combined with the ever-changing technologies of the world. Elements like the mechanical branches, leaves and vines were all hand-drawn before being scanned into a computer.

This Binary Universe Collection

This Binary Universe is BT's 5th studio album, comprised entirely of instrumentals. As the name suggests, TBU is full of timely, mathematical rhythms combined with beautiful, blissful melodies. This 3-disk set redesign serves as a proud display for the album, showcasing Fibonacci sequential squares and the golden ratio hidden in the album layout.

Travel Channel Bumper

The Travel Channel has many brand touch points and elements, both in broadcast and on the web. I wanted to use this opportunity and created a Travel Channel bumper to serve as transitions between show broadcasts and commercial content. I used bright, tropical colors paired with relaxing imagery and lots of moving visual eye candy.

Border's Book Store

Light painting can be a tough thing to photograph. Light painting with mini maglights around a book is even harder. This ad for Border's Book Store highlights the magical feeling and experience of reading a book. This ad captures viewers with its contrast and beauty, giving a positive message on the timeless tradition of reading.

WIRED Magazine Ad Series

This series of magazine ads served as both a call to action and an advertisement for WIRED's mobile apps. The message was to prompt readers to reduce their carbon footprint by switching their magazine subscription to mobile platforms. This was also an opportunity to increase sales on WIRED's mobile website by driving traffic to digital downloads.

Petunia Golf Resort Website

Petunia Golf Resort is a beautiful golf resort situated in Central Florida. Their website design needed to showcase the beauty of the Golf Course and Facilities. Sleek colors like green, blacks, whites and slight gradients give the site a sophisticated and sleek look while incorporating interactive elements, event calendars and a weather app.

Greater Life Communications

Greater Life Communications is a virtual team of contracted specialists who help companies tap into the 'content as marketing' aspects of their business. Their idea revolves around content-driven solutions to build a brand. I created a logo that would be strong in the social media market and sell them as an important asset to business growth.

We Suck. Electrolux.

Who would approve of such a tagline? This advertisement is for the Electrolux Pronto 2-in-1 Rechargeable Vacuum Cleaner. Because of complications with shooting photos of the original product, it was re-created as a vector image in Illustrator. Doing so allowed for it to look great on screen and be scaled to huge sizes without losing quality.

Bold, warm colors were used in conjunction with clean, fluid graphical treatment to make a stunning addition to the song and the album.

Every day is your birthday...

Taking the perfect bite out of this Reese's peanut butter cup was a lot harder than it seems. Many factors came into play, including precise teeth marks and fast-melting chocolate. The wind was also a nuisance for the flame. It took about 75 shots just to get the right flame shape. Over 12 Reese's cups were harmed in the making of this ad.
