The Players Championship is a premier PGA Tour tournament held each March at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. It features one of the strongest fields in professional golf, competing on the famous Stadium Course for one of the sport’s largest purses—now reaching $25 million.

For this project, I pitched, designed, and executed graphics for broadcast, social, and out-of-home. The goal was to create a look that felt elevated and premium while highlighting the course’s world-renowned 17th hole—a small island (technically a peninsula) often called the most iconic and nerve-wracking hole in golf.

The campaign drew the highest viewership for The Players Championship in 5 years, with 4.4 million viewers for the final round on Sunday.

For the launch of Digman!, an animated series starring Andy Samberg on Comedy Central, I designed & animated various digital billboards that ran across NYC for the show’s launch.

I oversaw several campaigns for Seinfeld marathons on Comedy Central including Presidents’ Day, New Year’s Day, & Refreshers.

Role: Sr. Director, Motion Graphics

I designed, art directed, & animated the graphics for Comedy Central’s Freak Week promotion, which is a week of Halloween-themed programming.

Role: Sr. Director, Motion Graphics

Role: Design Lead, Branding, Animation

For NBCUniversal’s Black History Month, we launched an extensive campaign across 16 different networks. Our design featured bold typography with a red, white, & blue color palette which conveys that Black history IS American history.

This project became the basis for an ongoing company-wide initiative to celebrate other heritage months (eg. Women’s History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month). The workflows and toolkits I developed were instrumental in transitioning the elements to other teams.

Briarpatch is a pulpy mystery drama starring Rosario Dawson — I worked on developing the overall branding for the show, in addition to overseeing elements for on-air, print, social and digital. The inspirations for the show included ‘Paris, Texas’, Twin Peaks, and Wong-Kar Wai, so I tried to capture this neo-noir feel with the retro movie inspired typography & saturated color palette.

I was also an art director on the photo shoot for the key art featuring Rosario Dawson, and I worked closely with our key art agency to oversee the final compositing & layout for the image.

Role: Senior Designer, Animation

I created the on-air toolkit for Straight Up Steve Austin season 2, in addition to the style guide and social elements. The show was a unique interview-based reality series starring WWE’s “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and featured a new celebrity guest each episode.

The show premiered with the highest ratings ever for a USA launch.

Role: Design Lead, Animation

For Colony, a sci-fi drama series about an alien occupation of Los Angeles starring Josh Holloway, I worked on the original concepts, art direction and additional animation for promos.

Role: Design Lead, Art Direction, Animation
