Tales of the Teenage Mutant Turtles is the animated series featuring the iconic and beloved mutant heroes. Set after TMNT Mutant Mayhem, it targets children aged 6-9. We aimed to create key art that presented the characters as aspirational, balancing heroism with a touch of humor.
Along with our traditional platform placements we also had a hefty OOH representation across US cities and San Diego Comic-Con.

No Time to Spy is a Loud House spinoff movie about Lincoln and the Louds welcoming their new Gran-Gran, Myrtle, into the family with a tropical wedding celebration. However, the festivities take a surprising turn when a nemesis from Myrtle’s secret-agent past resurfaces on the island.
In crafting this key art, our goal was to embrace the vintage Bond-style cinematic spy action theme, while maintaining the humor and lightheartedness of the story. Keeping Lincoln at the forefront as our hero was essential, all while emphasizing the exciting spy-adventure theme

After bidding farewell to a four-season run in 2018, the Thundermans make a triumphant return in an unforgettable movie event. Our mission was to craft artwork that captured the essence of the family, brimming with fun, action-packed superhero-sized challenges, laughter, and heartfelt moments.
In addition to creating the key art we developed character art to reintroduce the family, seated at the dinner table, seamlessly incorporating their superhero abilities into an ordinary family meal. This not only spotlighted our talented cast but also guaranteed a bit of fun.

In Baby Shark’s Big Movie, Baby’s family moves to the big city and Baby is forced to leave the world he loves behind and adjust to a new life without his best friend, William. Baby Shark encounters an evil pop starfish named Stariana who plans to steal his gift of song to dominate all underwater music.
We were challenged to convey the essence of this cinematic event, accentuate its soundtrack and show the profound celebration of friendship. We boasted its fresh aesthetic, hinted at some high-stakes, and alluded to the extraordinary musical experience.

Sasheer Zamata came to me to help conceptualize, art direct and design the stage for her second stand up special, The First Woman. When she approached me, she envisioned the space to feel natural. In her ideal world, she would be filming outside, barefoot in the woods.
After settling on a concept we found an incredible partner, Sugar Taylor, who helped us build and bring this thing to life.
In this special she mocks companies for awkwardly trying to use feminism to sell their wares, recounts the difficult task of snitching on a public indecency. And she analyzes the limited history of witches, airplane pilots, and women in general.
Watch the special here.

NFL Slimetime is a commentary show that infuses the spirit of the NFL with the boundless, 'anything-can-happen' enthusiasm of Nickelodeon. In each 22-minute episode, we spotlight the Slimelights, showcase All-Star athletes, and the unmistakable Slime Zone.
For season three, we were presented with the exciting task of creating two distinct key arts. One to speak to our kids and family audience and the other for our adult fan audience.
For our younger viewers, our objective was clear: we wanted to convey that we're bringing the messiness to football each week. We're here to make football an absolute blast! We embraced an outrageously messy and absurdly entertaining tone to ensure that kids understand we are bringing them the REAL game – as only Nickelodeon can.
For our adult audience, our message focused on our coverage of the game, unparalleled anywhere else. We provide the genuine game experience, legitimate highlights, and expert picks, all uniquely Nickelodeon.
