Motion design has been a primary focus of my day-to-day portfolio for the past couple of years, and as a result I have worked on many different types of projects. Take a look below for branding focused pieces, explainer videos and some more unique, fun projects too.

Resources for Rethinking (R4R) Shorts

Learning for a Sustainable Future (LSF)

2024

As part of a marketing and communications strategy to increase the awareness and reach of their classroom resources, LSF needed an array of videos to expand the reach of their sustainability teachings. These shorts promote three featured resource topics — Learning Inside Out, Step Outside, and Hot Topics — which have periodical publications teachers can subscribe to. No project is too small, and these were a great and enjoyable exercise in putting the same level of care and attention into short pieces, just as I would for a longer format animation project.

Five gradient rainbow bars, that phase through colours.

Nail polish bottle rotating in place, next to the words It's Not a Problem Anymore and a rainbow gradient bar.

From blogging, to viral YouTube, to a designer nail polish line, the Holo Taco brand is no stranger to attention. For several years on their company anniversary, they created a limited edition polish line and requested a special launch countdown splash page, which would then be featured in a livestream to thousands of people watching internationally. To accomplish the design of these pages, I animated how they would look, and then collaborated with developers to recreate the motion design with code.

My work with Holo Taco also included creating specialty GIF Stickers that are searchable on GIPHY (look up "holo taco") so that fans can add stickers to their posts about the products. Projects with Holo Taco always bring a new challenge — some of the more niche skills I've gained are from projects like these. Never a dull moment!

Competency Framework Campaign Video

Electricity Human Resources Canada (EHRC)

2022

EHRC has a number of programs devoted to developing the electricity workforce, one of which is the Competency Framework. It is designed as a baseline of current information for educators, employers, unions and policymakers so they can develop effective HR tools, resources, and relevant training programs. This video introduces the framework as part of a larger video series, and was one of the earliest explainer videos I worked on.

Learn to Code Video

Personal Project

2021

Motion Design | Illustration

An illustration and animation project which describes reasons graphic designers should learn how to code, working with a script written and voiced by my former web professor? Sounds super fun. I think I'll hide him in the visuals as well...
