His & Her Project

Penny Gaff, by Floor Plan – Lyric Video
Today I am very excited to be able to share with you a project I spent the last few months working on.

In Motion: End Scene
Every once in a while I find something online that is mind-blowingly inspiring to me. This animated music video from Steffen Bygebjerg is one of those things.

Back in July, I starting thinking about where I wanted to go with my career and how I wanted to use the skills I’ve developed. One of the ideas that I kept coming back to was working …
Corporate Identity Facts
For those of you who don’t know, my day job is animating a show on Yahoo! News called “Who Knew?”. It’s a minute and a half daily trivia show that tells little known facts about news topics and history. Every so often, we get a topic that I’m fairly passionate about (most often anything involving outer space). This week we …
