Powerpuff Girls
An Exploration in Interactive Creative Coding
Translating iconic 2D/3D character design into a responsive, browser-based experience. This project pushed the limits of HTML5 Canvas, requiring a deep marriage of mathematical coordinate mapping and visual storytelling.
Postcard Heart
A Nine-Source Multimedia Projection Installation
“Postcard Heart” is a site-specific multimedia installation that explores the relationship between digital technology and global exploration. By projecting nine distinct video sources onto a customized ceiling grid, the piece reflects on how we “travel” through our devices, falling in love with distant landscapes through the glass of our screens.
The Good Days
Experimental Rotoscoping and Non-Traditional Animation
"The Good Days" is a sixty-second narrative animation that explores memory and athletic passion through the lens of rotoscoping. By manually editing hundreds of individual frames, this project documents my cheerleading history, transforming archival footage of stunting and tumbling into a vibrant, high-energy digital experience.
Natural State Child
Pushing the Boundaries of Generative AI in Music Video Production
“Natural State Child” is a 1-3 minute music video that explores the emotional journey of moving from a small town to a major city. This project served as a technical test for current generative AI capabilities, as it was produced entirely using artificial intelligence, from the lyrics and musical composition to every single frame of the final visual edit.
Vector Mandala
Symmetry and System Design in Creative Coding
The Vector Mandala project is an exercise in mathematical art and interactive system design. By manually translating a static watercolor inspiration into over 1,000 lines of code, I built a responsive digital environment in which user movement dictates the piece's visual flow and symmetry.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Experimental Sprite Animation and Canvas System Logic
I Wanna Dance With Somebody is an interactive digital performance that transforms real-world movement into a retro 8-bit game aesthetic. By repurposing traditional photo-editing and web-development tools for character animation, I created a dynamic dorm-room dance party where the user’s cursor acts as a spotlight, triggering animated sequences across a multi-layered canvas.
Split Decision
Visualizing Identity and Decision-Making through Digital Autoscopy
Split Decision is an autoscopy project that explores the internal conflict between identity and career pathing. By deconstructing and layering a self-portrait using professional editing software, this piece visualizes the psychological weight of diverse expectations and the personal struggle to define one's own future.
Girls’ Night
Narrative Multiplicity and Seamless Digital Compositing
Girls’ Night is a digital media project that explores the concept of Multiplicity: the technique of capturing a single subject in multiple poses within the same environment to create a single, cohesive narrative. By meticulously combining six distinct self-portraits, I transformed a solitary space into a lively, dramatic girls’ night scene, focusing on the technical challenges of lighting consistency and spatial interaction.
Game of UTampa
Translating the Collegiate Experience into Interactive Game Mechanics
Game of UTampa is a tabletop adaptation of the classic Game of Life, specifically re-engineered to reflect the University of Tampa's unique cultural and academic environment. This project served as a deep dive into systems design, focusing on how rule sets and environmental storytelling shape the Player Experience.
Charlie Brown Dialogue Series
Exploring Narrative Performance Across 2D and 3D Dimensions
The Charlie Brown Dialogue series is a comparative study in character performance and technical animation. By using the same iconic audio clip across two distinct mediums, 2D and 3D, I explored the nuances of lip-syncing, facial expressions, and weight distribution. This dual-project approach allowed me to master two of the industry’s leading animation pipelines while maintaining a consistent creative vision.
Desert Sunset
Spatial Computing and Immersive Environmental Design
Desert Sunset is an interactive digital installation that pushes the boundaries of spatial computing to create a highly realistic, immersive environment. By leveraging Unreal Engine's advanced rendering capabilities, I developed a setting that immerses the player in a physical-feeling space through the strategic use of environmental effects and atmospheric lighting.
Personal Branding & Logo Design
Translating Personality into a Professional Visual Identity
This project involved creating a personal brand identity and a professional logo for a hypothetical production company. By combining AI-generated inspiration with traditional vector design, I developed a visual mark that is bubbly, simple, and memorable, reflecting both my personality and my professional aesthetic as a digital creator.
