Tiffany Holiday Windows RETCON | Client: Tiffany & Co.
Old job. New tools. Years ago, Tiffany & Co.’s window designer brought me in to develop and illustrate a children’s-book holiday concept for windows across the entire chain, a rush job worked largely from sketches. Retcon returns to those original drawings and builds them out as fully dimensional windows, set into a living New York street: shoppers passing in the snow, city lights in the glass, the hush of a holiday evening. It’s the version I always pictured, finally realized.

Iridescent | Original IP · Creature Study
A small feathered dragon, its scales flashing every color of the sunset, chases insects along towering cliffs as golden-hour light pours through the canyon. Set to gentle music, this vertical short follows the creature from a quiet perch to full flight, a fantastical piece of nature filmed as if it were real.

Treehead | Original IP · Character Development & Layering
A gentle giant with a forest growing from his head, and cardinals nesting in the branches. This piece walks through the character’s whole evolution in motion: from a loose pencil sketch to inked line work, then to a fully rendered figure gazing up through pink-and-blue clouds. It shows one idea carried from the first rough line to a finished on-screen character.

Innsmouth | Original IP · Character Study
He has the Innsmouth look: the unblinking eyes, the wide fish-like features and the gills just starting to show at his collar. Inspired by Lovecraft’s decaying port town, where the locals slowly change as the sea calls them home, this stylized resident is caught halfway between man and deep one, and he seems strangely pleased about it.

Calm Guy Video | Clients: Insight Venture Capital · Calm.com, Inc.
The character from the Calm graphic, brought to life. I later developed him into a short, charismatic video built for the web, giving the soak-in-a-mug idea motion, personality and comic timing, the kind of character-driven spot a brand could run on its site or socials.

Disruptors | Original IP · Logo in Motion
A title that builds itself. Gears grind, circuitry sparks and lightning cracks through the center as “The Disruptors” logo locks into place, every mechanical beat driven by a pounding industrial soundtrack. It’s a study in animated logo design where motion, sound and type work as a single machine.

Giraffe Race | Original IP · Concept Short
Nature, slightly tweaked. Jockeys in full silks race giraffes down a rain-soaked jungle track, mud and water flying with every long-legged stride. It’s a motion study in weight, gait and splash, with real-world physics applied to a not-quite-real world.

Kérastase | Clients: Lazard · L’Oréal
Sculpted hair – literally. The image began as artwork I created for a client job featuring Kérastase, L’Oréal’s luxury haircare brand: a portrait framed by fiery copper hair sculpted into sweeping, impossible curls. I later developed it into a video shot in which she turns her head in a candid moment, the sculpted hair turning with her, every curl locked in place.

Tiffany Holiday Windows RETCON | Client: Tiffany & Co.
A closer look at one window from the Retcon project. Taken from my original designs for Tiffany & Co.’s children’s-book holiday windows, this scene rises from the pages of an open book: a silver tree with a winding staircase climbs to a storybook house, a Tiffany-blue bird perches in its branches, and signature blue boxes rest in the snow below. It’s shown fully realized behind the glass, with the city reflected in the window.

Alamo Drafthouse | Clients: Goldman Sachs · Alamo Drafthouse
A miniature Alamo Drafthouse theater, complete with ribbed red walls, a branded recliner and dinner-tray detail. Its built-in screen plays Sony’s biggest film of the year, with full sound and flickering projector light spilling across the seat, so the piece doesn’t just look like an Alamo theater, it feels like a dinner and a show.
