Silhouette

ANIMATION DIRECTION, DESIGN + ANIMATION

Created for Aiewms’ original song “Silhouette,” this four-minute animated music video draws from the graphic language and globe-trotting romance of classic James Bond title sequences.

THE FILM
Working closely with the artist, I developed the visual direction and designed a silhouetted hero identified by Aiewms’ signature black-and-white striped scarf. Moving between the Giant’s Causeway, San Francisco, Paris, and a series of surreal performance spaces, he crosses the world in pursuit of a lost love.

URBAN DECAY · 2023

Logo Sizzle

MOTION DESIGN

A bold, high-impact logo animation created for Urban Decay’s annual live showcase. Working within an established brand system, I pushed the motion language toward something fun, fresh, and frenetic—true to the brand’s rebellious energy.






APPROACH

I animated the logo, typography, collaged video, and additional 2D assets, refining the timing across a range of high-energy music tracks until the opening landed with the right controlled chaos.

A ten-second animated ident created for the televised premiere of Teenage Euthanasia on Adult Swim. The category: Morgue-tacular Spring Break—embalming-fluid pong edition.








CONCEPT TO FINISH 

I developed and boarded concepts for the ident, worked with the producer through storyboard approval, and helped share the audio direction. I then cel animated, colored, and composited the final piece.

KALSHI ·  2025–2026

Motion across every scale.

KALSHI ·  2025–2026
I partnered directly with Kalshi’s growth team across a series of motion-design projects, creating work for social campaigns, employee announcements, and NHL stadium displays—from vertical video to arena-scale LED systems.

2025 ·  SOCIAL MOTION

Kalshi Socials 



I developed motion assets for Kalshi’s social channels, beginning with animated announcements for new team members. Working within the existing brand system, I created custom logo and typography animation along with an original confetti system designed to feel energetic, polished, and distinctly Kalshi.

KalSHE

For Kalshi’s KalSHE series on X, I styled and animated captions, typography, and graphic elements for videos centered on women using the platform. The system was designed to feel playful and conversational while keeping the speakers and their stories at the center.

2025 ·  EXPERIENTIAL MOTION

NHL Stadium Takeover





I partnered with Kalshi’s growth team to develop motion graphics for a series of NHL stadium takeovers. Working from layouts created by graphic designer Edwin Cuen, I animated text-driven creative for outdoor displays and in-arena ribbon boards across multiple venues.

The work required translating Kalshi’s fast, information-heavy visual language into motion that remained legible and impactful at an enormous scale. I also designed and animated a custom hockey-puck element used throughout the motion system.

MOTION DESIGN 

Turning Point School


This project involved revamping existing branded content for Turning Point School in Los Angeles, bringing motion to a reimagined periodic table of the elements. Instead of chemical compounds, each element now represents a characteristic the school strives to instill in its students. The design was created by DISTINC_, blending dynamic visuals with thoughtful messaging to highlight the school’s core values.
