My portfolio
Below are some of the projects that I've completed over the years that I'm most proud of. I've tried my hand at everything from video and animation to 3D tours, social media, and podcasts.

01
De la salle Virtual Tour
I created this virtual tour from scratch using 3DVista, developed a game to keep prospects engaged, and participated in the development of the marketing communications that got the word out amongst the community. Unfortunately, the tour has since been taken down.
02
Shelby PD K-9 Hype Video
While working with ShelbyTV, we were tasked with making a hype video for the K-9 division of the Shelby PD. I filmed, edited, and animated this video over the course of 3 months.
03
DLS Recruitment Videos
These videos were created for the same client as #1, De La Salle Collegiate, and were used in tandem with the Virtual Tour. This is one of eleven videos, explaining De La Salle's application process and extracurricular programs.
04
Eisenhower Football Camera Crew
Working with ShelbyTV, part of my job was to help broadcast the Eisenhower High School football games live to YouTube. While only one game is shown here where I was filming with one of the sideline cameras, I alternated between a position on any given night, between sideline camera, sky camera, audio, or graphics.
05
Veritá Recruitment Videos
Similar to #3, Veritá Telecommunications requested a set of recruitment videos aimed at potential employees. I worked directly with current employees, and shot, edited, and animated all seven of these videos. This is one example.
06
"Make Your Own Luck" Music Video
This was my final project in high school, and while it has its' flaws, I'm still incredibly proud of it. My multimedia instructor got in touch with local folk band Mustard's Retreat for myself and my partner to make a music video for their latest single, "Make Your Own Luck".
​
The video follows a fan of the band who's on a journey to see them for their concert. Along the way, he runs into numerous obstacles that hinder him. When he finally arrives at the venue, the concert is over. Luckily, a fellow fan of the band also seemed to miss the concert, and there's a bit of a spark between the two.
07
"The Treehouse" Animations
At ShelbyTV, myself and a few co-workers participated in the production of a children's show we created called, "The Treehouse". I created all of the motion graphics here, and did so through my time at ShelbyTV. I also created the YouTube thumbnail.
08
FIT CHECK W/ CADE CUNNINGHAM
One of my favorite projects working with Hall Financial was working with Detroit Pistons Point Guard/Shooting Guard Cade Cunningham. We ideated this Fit Check series to review some of his previous outfits and react to them. I worked on the production team, edited the video, and created the graphics package. This video here was one of a set of three.

09
FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER'S GUIDE
Over the years, I've been able to develop my graphic design skills further and further. At Hall Financial, I had the opportunity to create this "First Time Homebuyer's Guide", my first multi-page and fully designed PDF. Click here to view my First Time Homebuyer's Guide.

HALL FINANCIAL SOCIAL MEDIA
As of September 2024, I was placed in charge of planning, creating, and managing the content on Hall Financial's social media pages. As someone who's never been placed in a position like this, it's been a lot of learning, however I'm always up for the challenge. Click here to view Hall Financial's Instagram page.

PERSONAL PROJECTS
01
SALTA educational videos
Dr. John Blanchard, CEO of SALTA Direct Primary Care, commissioned me to work on a set of videos for his company as a freelance project. Here is one of those thirteen videos.
02
The ineligible receivers football podcast
I love football. I also love talking football. It just so happens that so do my best friend from high school and my brother.
​
We created "The Ineligible Receivers: An NFL Podcast" and I developed a logo and album art. I also created the intro/outro music, and I produced the audio for each episode.
