Insomniac

Hello Design partnered with Insomniac—the parent company of electronic music festivals such as EDC, Beyond Wonderland, and Escape—to redesign its digital presence. I did several production design tasks for their website launches and animated a series of social posts and web assets. One vignette directed users to Insomniac’s experience stream, a mobile experience developed by Hello Design to give Millenial and Gen Z fans a collection of exciting interactive micro-moments without requiring an app download. The rest of the vignettes featured characters called The Insomniacs, who were designed to promote the festival’s values and positive vibes.

I love bright designs and bouncy characters. I occasionally get to work on projects for myself, friends, and family that range from wedding collateral to YouTube intros to small websites.

BCI – Court & Rowe

BCI - Court & Rowe

Court & Rowe, a part of the BCI Brands family, is a lifestyle brand that brings pop and personality to wardrobe classics for the modern woman. While BCI Brands typically specializes in fashion lines built for department stores, Court & Rowe is its first direct-to-consumer brand. Hello Design launched and ran its Shopify website, social media presence, and email campaigns. I was brought in to establish Court & Rowe’s motion language for social media and digital advertising. I also designed emails, icons, and digital lookbook spreads for the brand.

Amazon – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Amazon - The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a highly acclaimed series from Amazon Studios. Hello Design partnered with their internal marketing team to create a digital destination for both fans of the show and Emmy judges to learn more about its real-world events, activities, and promotions. I had the pleasure of animating all of the interactive elements on the site and its official launch announcement for Instagram. The site won a Webby Award in the Television & Film category for 2021.

Meta - Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger

I’ve worked with a wide array of clients that fall under the Meta umbrella. From character motion studies to PDFs and on-platform ads to sizzle reels, I’ve designed, animated, and directed projects that seek to bring people together across the entire range of the company. There’s too much work to put in one place, but here are a few of my favorites for Meta, the AR VR team, Instagram, Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Shop, and Messenger for Kids.
