The Elsewhere
Independent Short Film
This 8-minute short explores the tension between fear and longing, inspired by an early memory of pressing my face against the patterned glass door at my grandmother's house, watching figures blur into shifting silhouettes. I approached the visual design by creating a world that feels both distant and intimate — softened silhouettes, layered blur, and fragmented shapes that keep forms from fully resolving. The film's tone was shaped in close collaboration with the composer and sound team, balancing quiet restraint with a subtle sense of unease.

Samsung
Global Campaigns · 2021–2025
Across multiple Samsung campaigns, I developed visual and motion ideas around new products and features, exploring how they could move, behave, and take shape beyond conventional product visuals. My role shifted across projects—from early concept and visual development through motion exploration, 3D development, and final animation.
I explored how movement could give products personality, and how form, material, and supporting elements could shape the mood around them.
Zack Snyder's Justice League
Title Sequence
Contributed to lighting development for the title sequence of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, exploring how color, contrast, and shadow could reflect the character and tone of each scene. Developed lighting approaches ranging from cold blue to stark white and red, shaping focus while creating a distinct atmosphere for different moments.
Motion Systems & Guidelines
Verizon & Optum
Developed motion guidelines for Verizon and Optum by interpreting abstract brand ideas into distinct motion concepts and principles. Starting from each brand’s core visual and conceptual language, I expanded those ideas into a vocabulary for how the brand could express itself through movement, then defined the behaviors that brought that vocabulary to life.
