holiday trailer
On this Netflix Holiday Trailer, I ran the graphics as Producer from first start to final delivery, including the twist where our designers swapped in a new AI storyboarding tool. Rather than treat that as a drag, I leaned in: picked up the tool fast, kept the work in-house, and made sure creative control stayed firmly in our hands instead of another vendor's. My job was equal parts translator and guardrail ensuring the AI assisted concept still felt unmistakably Netflix’s brand and films, not a rogue experiment.
Netflix’s Ultimate Holiday Collection (2024)
official trailer
On the official Emilia Pérez trailer, my job was to be the steady hand of continuity while the creative got delightfully loud with split screens, vibrant color, footage stuffed inside letterforms, all the editor's boldest ideas landing at once. With a team that was small but mighty (translation: everyone wore three hats), I jumped in as a designer too, helping push through the kind of deadline crunch that tests your sanity, all in the name of winning the trailer. Bold creative, tight timeline, zero panic; my favorite kind of project.

The Color Purple (2023)
main on end
The Main on End title sequence for The Color Purple holds a special place in my heart, full stop. It pulled straight from my childhood, where quilts weren't just blankets, they were storytelling, memory keeping, and a piece of our Southern roots stitched together by hand, one square at a time. Getting to translate that into a pitch for the film's director and producer, and having our idea chosen over several other shops, is still one of my proudest moments. It wasn't just a professional win either, it felt like handing a piece of my own history the spotlight it deserved.
But landing the job was just the beginning. As a Coordinator, I learned how lighting, atmosphere, credits, illustrations, animations, and a dozen other moving pieces come together to make a quilt feel less like a prop and more like a character with a pulse. I got hands-on too: sourcing quilts, arranging them into compositions that told the right story and weighing in on what read as authentic Southern craft versus what just looked the part on camera. It was equal parts creative problem solving and cultural translation, making sure the details were right, not just pretty.

brand foundation design
Emory, the owner of Black Sheep Salon, wanted a space that was as unapologetically quirky as they are and radically welcoming to everyone who walked through the door. So that's exactly what I built into the brand: punk energy, saturated color, deep black, a wink of 90s nostalgia, and just the right amount of glorious tackiness. My role went well past the website, but the logo, business cards, banners, and brand entirety’s feel landed on my plate too. The real goal wasn't just a pretty site; it was handing Emory the tools and confidence to run their own brand long after I stepped away.
the style & website
Black Sheep Salon's whole personality lives in bold color blocking and organized chaos. That means the website is no exception, translating that same controlled mayhem into every scroll. Inclusivity wasn't an afterthought either: visitors can toggle off all the visual flourish if that's what they need, the site works just as well on mobile, and yes, there's a sheep cursor, because why not! Go take a peek at Black Sheep Salon. It's chaos with excellent taste.
website creation & design
Angel City Derby's old website was the digital equivalent of a squeaky roller skate wheel which incldued outdated and rough going for anyone who wasn't already tech-savvy. So I rebuilt it from the ground up: something self-sustaining, genuinely informative, and (most importantly) fun, without losing an ounce of that iconic ACD attitude. I keep the brand in line and push bi-annual updates to keep the site sharp, stylized, and useful for both potential skaters and current league members. Same bold personality, just modernized with more photos, more quirk, zero squeaky wheels.
