I collaborated closely with the director of design, assisting a team of cinematographers, editors, and motion graphic designers on a range of client and internal projects encompassing both graphic and motion design. My role involved conceptualizing, designing, and illustrating characters and other artwork utilized in motion graphic videos.

This video was created for Goff Public's holiday post. I designed the story and characters, which were also aligned with the holiday card that I created and sent out to their employees.
A significant aspect of my role was to ensure alignment of all internal and external communications with the brand. As the first in-house graphic designer, I established standards and developed multiple templates for the team to use in client communications. This encompassed templates for proposals, invoices, and advertisements.
Captivate brand and identity update
My most significant project was the rebranding of the Captivate website. I worked closely with web developers to ensure the proper implementation of my designs.
