• Motion Graphic Designer

  • May 2019 - Present

  Currently responsible for nearly all animation for client work. I work with a small team of editors and producers to create high-level commercial work with quick turnaround times for numerous deliverables. Working at Hawthorne has really put me in an environment where I have access to a more data based approach to advertising. Working with the team here has exposed me to a more analytical approach focusing on target demographic as opposed to an approach more based on just creative content. This position has also allowed me to wear many hats, working across multiple departments to assure successful campaign engagement. This, as well as how to pivot a campaign in response to testing and feedback from a target audience. I've gotten to work with clients that include: LeafFilter, HomeAdvisor, 5 Hour Tea, Zenwise, Centinel Spine, Gerber, and Home Service Club. I also was able to help influence the external facing brand of the company on social media and increased engagement with the marketing team. Show less

  • Mar 2018 - Nov 2018

  Creating graphics for trailers, on-air television, and digital promotion with a talented team of designers, editors, writers and producers. Each job requires wearing multiple hats, making it convenient to learn other disciplines. Here, I really started to understand the nuance of campaign archetypes and how to analyze television and movies to publish engaging social media content. Many of these campaigns were repurposed for out-of-home advertising as well. Projects include Insatiable, Haunting of Hill House, Umbrella Academy, Baby, and 13 Reasons Why (Netflix) as well as Counterpart (Starz) digital campaigns. Show less
