Selected Work
- Oracle NetSuite (2026) — Oracle NetSuite — I designed and produced a multichannel campaign for Oracle NetSuite, creating animated HTML5 display ads from their brand guidelines and creative specs. I handled storyboarding, visual design, animation, and build-out across all required sizes.
Each unit was tailored to the specs of multiple DSPs while maintaining consistent motion, hierarchy, and messaging. The final deliverables were a full suite of HTML5 ads ready for trafficking and deployment across channels.
- Optum (2026) — Optum — I design static display campaigns for brands like Optum, translating detailed brand guidelines and creative specs into clean, on-brand ad systems.
My work focuses on production-ready assets: building out full suites of static units across required IAB sizes and DSP specs, adapting concepts for each placement while maintaining a consistent visual language.
For Optum, I handled end‑to‑end static ad production—interpreting brand rules, refining layouts, and versioning creative for multichannel delivery so every asset was ready for trafficking across platforms.
- Enter the Gungeon: House of the Gundead (2024) — Griffin Aerotech — For Enter the Gungeon: House of the Gundead — a lightgun dungeon crawler by Griffin Aerotech and Dodge Roll, in collaboration with Devolver Digital — I was commissioned to design the arcade cabinet skin and a custom instruction panel for the video game cabinets. My work encompassed the cabinet artwork, bezel graphics, and instruction panel layout, all developed to unify the unit’s visual presentation. The project was a collaboration with the SKYCURSER team, built on the AIRFRAME arcade platform.
- Terminus Software, Inc. (2020) — At Terminus, I worked as the Senior Creative Designer, helping shape the company’s creative direction alongside a talented team of marketers. As a senior designer, I had my hands in nearly every aspect of the brand — from print to web. I led and produced advertising campaigns, out-of-home (OOH) advertising, and the full range of marketing team deliverables: display and social ads, ebooks, landing pages, email, and digital campaigns end to end. On the web side, I handled everything from concept through production, designing and building on-brand pages and campaign experiences. I also designed trade show booths and display graphics that brought the brand to life in physical spaces. One of my most significant contributions was playing a major role in a company-wide brand overhaul — refreshing our visual standards and identity system to strengthen Terminus’s brand and support its rapid growth. Across print, web, advertising, and events, my focus was always on creating cohesive, impactful visual experiences.
- JLO (2019) — Designed a web experience for a Capitol Records pitch featuring Jennifer Lopez. I created the site design, interactive layouts, and visual direction for the presentation — including photo treatments, typography, and responsive page designs for both desktop and mobile. The project showcased JLO's brand identity through an immersive digital format.
- Rónin Tactics (2016)
- SKYCURSER (2016) — Designed the complete visual identity for SKYCURSER, a retro arcade shoot 'em up by Griffin Aerotech. My work included the game logo, website design, full arcade cabinet graphics, a detailed control panel illustration inspired by the SR-71 Blackbird, and the owner's manual. I also directed photography of the prototype cabinet and launch events. The cabinet is now in arcades worldwide.
- FieldCraft Survival (2015) — Designed the brand identity, e-commerce website, and marketing materials for FieldCraft Survival, a tactical training company founded by U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Mike Glover. I developed the original logo, built the first FieldCraft website and online store, and created a visual system rooted in topographic mapping and military aesthetics. As the brand grew rapidly, I continued to evolve the design system across digital and print touchpoints.
- Blend Creative Team (2015) — As a founding creative at Blend Creative Team, I led art direction, branding, and photography across client engagements spanning brand launches, marketing campaigns, and identity systems. I built the agency's visual identity, designed our website, and directed photoshoots. Blend specialized in launching new businesses and revitalizing established brands — I was hands-on across every project, from initial concepting through final production.
- Delivra (2015) — Directed the complete visual rebrand of Delivra, an email marketing platform. I developed a new logo inspired by speech bubbles to reinforce their core value of conversation, then extended the brand across a redesigned website, email templates, and marketing collateral. The project was delivered through Blend Creative Team, where I led the creative direction and design execution.
- Wargaming (2013) — Created branding, illustration, and print materials for Wargaming (World of Tanks, World of Warships). I designed event posters, illustrated military-themed graphics, and produced promotional materials for gaming tournaments and community events. The work spanned both print and digital, with a focus on bold illustrated compositions that captured the energy of Wargaming's titles.
- Asian Art Museum San Francisco (2013) — Designed a multi-channel marketing campaign for the Asian Art Museum's Terracotta Warriors exhibition — the first showing in 20 years. I conceptualized and produced augmented reality street posters, interactive print collateral, and large-format banners deployed across San Francisco. The visual identity drew from Han purple pigments found on the original warriors, grounding the campaign in historical research. I also designed bus wraps, building banners, and digital assets to create a cohesive presence across the city.
- Pokémon Black & White v2 (2012) — Designed a first-of-its-kind double parallax scrolling website for Pokémon Black Version 2 and White Version 2. The dual-scroll mechanic visually communicated the games' paired nature while highlighting shared features. I led the visual design, interaction concepts, and art direction for the site, working with The Pokémon Company International to bring both game worlds to life in a single web experience.
- Pokédex 3D Pro (2012) — Designed and built the promotional website for Pokédex 3D Pro, a Nintendo 3DS application by The Pokémon Company International. I created the visual design, interactive elements, and responsive layouts that showcased the app's 3D Pokémon viewing capabilities. The site included animated UI elements and a design language that extended the game's visual identity to the web.
- Skyfeeder (2011) — Designed and illustrated Skyfeeder, an in-house mobile game built at JVST during a winter development sprint. I created all game art, character designs (Pancho the dragon and babies), environment illustrations, UI design, and marketing materials including App Store assets. The project went from concept to published game, giving me full creative ownership over every visual element.
- Pokémon Rumble Blast (2011) — Designed the promotional website for Pokémon Rumble Blast on Nintendo 3DS.

The site included animated transitions and custom illustrated backgrounds for each section.

- Indiana State Sanatorium (2024) — With the recent video of Sam and Colby exploring the Indiana State Sanatorium, I thought I would share my little short I made earlier in the year.
Hidden in the quiet town of Rockville, Indiana, lies the historic Indiana State Sanatorium. Established in 1908 or 1911, this facility was once a beacon of hope for tuberculosis patients. At its peak, it provided cutting-edge care with fresh air therapy and rest, set against a serene natural backdrop.
As medical advancements led to effective treatments for tuberculosis, the need for sanatoriums like this one dwindled. The Indiana State Sanatorium evolved, serving various roles until it was ultimately abandoned.
Today, its haunting beauty attracts historians and paranormal enthusiasts, eager to uncover the stories within its walls.

- Above the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument (2020) — I am always looking for the best times to take photos over downtown Indianapolis. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is a beautiful marker for the city, but it is always packed with visitors and traffic around the circle.
Designed and built from 1888 to 1901 and dedicated in 1902, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument was erected to honor Hoosiers who served in the American Civil War. It has been a center point of Indianapolis since.
Sneaking around to find the best vantage point to launch a drone from without people gathering around watching what you are doing has always been a challenge around major sightseeing areas. Luckily Beth and I discovered a rooftop close enough to launch the drone from with no one around.
- Indiana Army Ammunition Plant (2019) — The now-vacant Indiana Army Ammunition Plant was built on roughly 10,655 acres of farmland along the Ohio River between Jeffersonville and Charlestown. The facility employed more than 27,000 workers.

The plant was ultimately closed when weapons technology advanced and the facility was decommissioned in the 1990s.
- Abandoned Building on Fort Harrison (2019) — I received a call to meet a friend for some photos at a creek on Fort Harrison and took a look at the overhead map on Google Maps. I noticed sticking out of the woodline what looked like an abandoned building. To my surprise, as we walked down the hills, I saw the smokestack sticking out of the tree line.

- Taking flight with a 1928 Ford Trimotor (2019) — On Thursday I was invited to take a joyride on a 1928 Ford Trimotor by the EAA — The Spirit of Aviation. The Ford Trimotor also known as the Tin Goose was a Golden Era three-engine aircraft produced by the Ford Motor Company (Stout Metal Airplane Division). It began production in 1925 and ended in 1933.
A total of 199 Ford Trimotors were built. Of those 199 aircraft, only 18 exist in museums and 2 are operational. The aircraft we were able to fly on is on loan to the EAA for tours around the country for people to experience the joys of flight in the Golden Era.

- The Indiana State Fair (2019) — Butt cheeks, food and summer fun can't be had without a visit to the Indiana State Fair.

- A photo tour of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (2018) — Took the family on a little quest to see some of my favorite planes growing up. I am always amazed by how far the human race has evolved in a short time span looking at the early models to the space era.

- The Old Ritz Theatre (2018) — According to cinematreasures.org, the Ritz opened on February 22, 1927, with seating for 1,400. Just on the cusp of talking movies, the theater was equipped with a two-manual Geneva organ. After years of success as a neighborhood movie theater, it became known as the Northside Theatre in August of 1958 and had a short-lived stint as a burlesque site in the 1960s before complaints led the managers and strippers to court. In June 1970 the theater was remodeled. All of the seats were removed to make way for a rock concert venue called Middle Earth. The popular hang-out featured some big names such as Richie Havens, Frank Zappa, and Savoy Brown. The name was changed back to the Ritz Theatre in January 1972, but the concerts were unsuccessful and the Ritz closed in late 1972.
- Sound Expeditions cover shoot (2018) — Coming back to NUVO, the editors gave me a chance to shoot a cover story again. I have shot and worked on many cover stories, but the thrill to get back into print was always a highlight. Here are a couple of outtakes.

- Holiday Inn Express (2017) — Every time I took a trip out to Chicago I would see this abandoned Holiday Inn Express off the side of the highway in Lafayette, Indiana. After finally remembering the exit number I planned my next excursion.
It was a cold bitter day, the building had already been stripped clean and most of the debris removed, I still felt an eerie feeling walking around solo snapping photos with no surrounding sound.

This was my first time hanging out with a major rock band, and my nerves were completely on edge. After talking to the Deal sisters a bit and Mando the bass player I felt at ease hanging around the band acting like paparazzi for the day.
