Where visual storytelling meets mission

Promotional

Challenge.gov connects innovators across the country with government teams solving big problems. For this promotional video, I created a concept built around a single line — a visual metaphor for adaptability, creativity, and possibility. I wrote, illustrated, and animated the piece, using that one line to grow, twist, and evolve to show how Challenge.gov can take on any challenge.

Promotional

For GSA’s 75th Anniversary, I wanted to show more than a timeline—I wanted to show evolution. I crafted this video to begin with a vintage, black-and-white look, evoking the agency’s origins, before bursting into vibrant color to highlight how GSA’s mission and impact have grown over 75 years. I handled writing, editing, and full production.

News Style

This video tells the story of a federal building renovation in Utah that went beyond modernization—it reshaped how people work. I shot and edited the piece to highlight how partnering with GSA enabled the client to save money, foster collaboration, and create a workspace that sets a new standard for federal design.

Explainer

This video was one in a series that gave viewers a quick glimpse into a complex topic. Created to provide short, clear, and easy-to-digest content to users in a hurry. I was responsible for writing, editing, and creating all assets within the video.

Social First

To highlight the GSA’s mission to preserve federal buildings, I developed a concept for an oral history of haunted federal buildings. These videos were created with social media in mind and produced with that format being the end goal. I wrote, shot, and edited these videos.
