Selected work

Paddock

Brand, web, film

A private car club in New York and Miami. I’ve worked with them since 2022, from the hexagon P to the app members book their cars through.

Amici &Vino

Brand, motion

Wine tastings in Connecticut, New York and online. I drew the monogram, an A that ties itself around the bottle, then made it move for the launch.

Many disciplines.One bigger picture.

I’m a designer and director. I work across brand, motion, film, photography, web and 3D, and I’m happiest when a project needs a bit of all of it. Everything I make for it starts from one idea, so it all hangs together.

GoodVibesCantina

Film, brand

A Baltimore cantina with a day shift and a night shift. I rebranded it around the name everyone already called it, and cut the film that shows both.

How it
comes together

When Paddock was opening in Miami, there was no garage to film yet. So I built one in 3D. Here’s how that went, straight out of the viewport.

A grey box and a wooden guy for scale. Walls, columns and ceiling height come first, before a single material.
Then I fly the camera through clay cars until the moves feel right. It’s cheap to change here, so I change it a lot.
Then the look. The hexagon lights, the concrete, the cars, and style frames until any still could be the poster.
And a garage nobody had built yet becomes the launch teaser.

Paddock Miami

Good Vibes Cantina

Ahead of
the build

Sometimes there’s nothing to shoot yet, so I build it in 3D. The Paddock Miami launch teaser, and the Good Vibes Cantina interior while it was still a plan.
