Amazon Fresh is both an online and physical grocery store that offers low prices on everyday favorites, plus same-day delivery and free pickup.

Amazon Fresh was able to produce 32 videos from a single shoot. I collaborated closely with Amazon's internal design team to refine the concept and select products that best represent freshness and common grocery staples. We crafted the overall creative direction for these videos and created a template for easy text swapping to accommodate different sales events and seasonal messages. This project allowed us to effectively portray Amazon Fresh’s core values of quality and efficiency.

Disney and Pixar’s Onward is about a magical journey of two elf brothers who wish to spend one more day with their late father. The biggest challenge in this project were the campaign assets. Most of the media were already rendered and produced for a horizontal display, but the mobile app’s ad space required vertical assets. The animation and static assets were cut and composed to create a more cohesive foreground and background scene for all weather conditions. This was also the first time the animation could extend across the entire ad space past the UI data.

Prestone is the number one branded consumer choice for antifreeze/coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid in North America.

Reliant Energy provides power to millions of homes and businesses across the state of Texas. Reliant Energy wanted to introduce subtle animations into their typically static ads. Since Reliant Energy only provided their branding elements, the biggest challenge was having to construct the scenes from stock images and having to create the animations in-house. The animations were created by using a cinematograph technique to create a seamless, yet subtle animation loop for each original static scene.

Hotels.com is a leading provider of hotel accommodation worldwide, offering travelers one of the widest selections of accommodation on the net. The most challenging part of this project was to conceptualize different creative ideas of introducing their 15-second videos into the mobile app ad space. One of the concepts created was introducing the 15-second spot in an iPhone screen with the end frame of the spot transitioning to the actual scene of the ad. In the end, Hotel.com decided to proceed with the standard video player in a weather based background scene in a last-minute effort to go live to meet their quarterly goal.
