Bodega Cat (February 2024)
This project was done with the intention of creating a short series of vignettes about 3 different cat characters. This character, called "Bodega Cat" is meant to portray the average NYC working class local. He is hard working and dedicated to his job, but also enjoys the simple pleasures in life. The project overall is meant to focus on the three different types of cats that I encounter in my neighborhood, apartment cats, bodega cats, and stray cats. The project discusses themes of class in an abstract way, but focuses on showing the beauty and value in each of the character's lives, regardless of their position or class.
Cupid Company (March 2023)
This project focused on creating an animated poster intended for a three-panel digital display, a format often used in billboards and subway advertisements. The brief was very open-ended in terms of subject matter, but I chose to create a short promo for a fictional dating website called "Cupid Company". I was inspired by seeing the Tinder "It starts with a swipe" ad campaign done in collaboration with Mischief. These ads focused heavily on narrative and were brightly colored and unusual. I saw these ads during and right before the creation of this project.
LIPSTICK (January 2023)
This animation was part of a series of short animated promotional shorts made for a fictional publishing group called "Recess". The aim of this fictional company would have been to create a magazine promoting escaping corporate culture to working professionals, with messages about breaking the norms, the negative qualities of office culture, and defying expectations.
