Video
Cardinal Walk 2018
Captured the 2018 Annual John Etchemendy Cardinal Walk as part of Stanford's BeWell program. The main goal was to highlight the event and put together a short video that may be shared on the web and social media. To further support the event, I also designed the collectible t-shirt for this year:

S10 ProClean
Made a short video to accompany the Shopify website I redesigned for S10 ProClean. It advertises their camera lens cleaner demonstrating its portability and ease of use. They wanted it to appeal to a younger audience such as college students majoring in film. “Playful” and “fun” are a couple descriptions the crew associates with their product, so I went with an adventurous direction taking place in the northern coast of California; starring a mid to late 20s photographer.
Music Clips
A music video composed of clips I recorded from outdoor jam sessions by a group of friends.

Pacific Motorcycle Training Logo
Two variations of a logo I designed for Pacific Motorcycle Training. While researching other motorcycle program logos, I found that imageries of a sportbike were a common identifier. Not only did the logo have to easily and visibly communicate motorcycle school, but it also needed to stand out from the rest of the competition. In order to achieve this, I made use of the school's name and integrated the sportbike graphic within it.
The client preferred the colors grey and orange in addition to having an overall modern look, so I went with a slate grey that was dark enough to be legible and contrast with a bright orange, helping it pop.
