It’s Still Being Written
This animated piece is a love letter to my partner that describes how dazzling it feels that our paths crossed and our hearts intertwined.
The scenes depicted through the lens of various events and snapshots of our memories together.
Luna
Painting my cat Luna into a psychedelic, pointillism painting came to me a dream. This was the first time I had ever decided to jump into a painting whole heartedly with little guidance and a whole lot of faith. In the end, I’m really proud of how it came out.
FindHope
People who are missing aren’t always close to home. Often – especially in cases involving human trafficking – people end up being taken to other regions or countries.
Cards For A Cause
2020 was a tough time for me, I was spending all my working and leisure hours inside four walls with my four year old niece. While I was lucky enough to be safe, a lot of people out there weren’t, and they needed help.
Arrangements I
I have released two full-length instrumental albums of original music, but for my third album project, I wanted to create piano-only, classical versions of famous pop songs. Because my employer (Mophonics) has a relationship with UMPG, I limited myself to songs which have publishing controlled at least partially by UMPG. The end result was a four-song EP I titled Arrangements I–featuring piano-only arrangements of songs by Fleetwood Mac, The Beach Boys, Shania Twain and Dolly Parton. I intentionally chose songs with strong, recognizable melodies, but took creative license with the arrangements: changing chord voicings, expressing harmonies in different octaves, etc. The arrangement process, since I wasn’t working from sheet music (except my own shorthand notes), was challenging but rewarding–each song was a puzzle that needed unlocking. I’m very proud of how these arrangements turned out. The cover art was designed by the supremely talented graphic designer and artist Autumn Wilson, with whom I previously collaborated on “Amplify the Sound,” a virtual benefit concert we created on Instagram Live to raise money for the Autistic People of Color Fund. The album is available on all streaming services.
The Bad Podcast
Getting into the ad industry is hard. Like, really hard. Why? Because there’s no “right way” to do it!
The Solo Kama Sutra
In 2020, COVID-19 has put us in self-isolation, it was a tough moment to everyone and it was even worse for single people, amplifying the feeling of isolation. Thinking of it, we wanted to help.
The Voltz Collection
Advertising gave me the hunger to learn and research random topics and products.
The Box
I wanted to make something to hold our wedding album. Clearly, a simple box wouldn’t do.
droppa-tent
As a dad with 2 young sons, I’ve made a lot of play tents. One night my boys had some friends sleep over and making a play tent big enough for everyone proved quite the struggle. So I stepped back and imagined what a better solution would look like. When the pandemic hit, I had a bit more time at home than usual, and i used it to prototype what eventually became droppa-tent. the easiest play tent you’ve ever dropped.
