SPECIAL PROJECTS

Concept Work

carter's style guide & launch of little baby basics

Through carter's rebranding process, we worked as teams on special projects. My team worked on a style guide for the brand. My part of the project was to figure out how all of the promotions, illustrations & photography would live in the digital space. I took high level concepts & created a mock-up of a little baby basics launch homepage & email. 

REDBOOK MAGAZINE

While working at REDBOOK magazine, I created in-house inspirational pieces, on-brand photo montages, red carpet to redbook large signage + logo concepts & advertorials.

PROJECT
Create a motion presentation promoting a unique dining experience

DESIGN CONCEPT
The concept was to re-create a 1920’s prohibition era party with bountiful champagne, heavy hor d’oeuvres, and lavish dancing.

DESCRIPTION
1920s inspired imagery was the major theme in this project. Within the one to two minute time-frame, I wanted to capture the night at Speak from beginning to end. The video quality takes the viewer back in time to the roaring twenties while also giving one the overall feel of the dining experience.
