Henry Danger the Movie

The Henry Danger Movie Key Art was developed to create visually compelling & elevated art that captures the excitement of the beloved Henry Danger franchise, while introducing a fresh & cinematic storyline. We chose to spotlights Henry Danger as our aspirational hero.

The deliverables for this campaign included key art for multiple platforms, character-focused designs for social media, and marquee art for the Paramount Plus platform.

LIZA TREYGER: NIGHT OWL

Liza Treyger released her her first stand-up special, Night Owl on Netflix. I’ve had a long standing friendship with Liza & she came to me in the hopes I would design her title lockup (um yes!). The special reflects her growth over the past decade since her debut, Glittercheese, and highlights her confidence in her material. While Liza brings a spontaneous energy and a raw edge to her material, the aesthetic we kept gravitating toward was a sleek, feminine look—reminiscent of Sex and the City, polished yet effortless.

This special is the result of years of experience performing in New York and beyond, cementing her status as a standout comedian. Liza is an incredible person to work for—passionate, talented, and full of infectious energy. And if you ever email her and her production team, don’t be surprised if she replies-all with a resounding 'Yes, Bitch!'—because honestly, what’s more rewarding than that?

SLIMETIME S4

For season 4 of Slimetime we were tasked with creating a playful & irreverent marketing image all while highlighting the signature element - slime! We designed this to appeal to kids, co-viewing families, and NFL fans. The art is a versatile approach across platforms, reflecting the energy & fun chaos of Nick’s approach to football. It blends humor, innovation, and nostalgia to create a standout piece that’s unmistakably Slimetime. We created this art using existing assets from a previous shoot & a bit of help from some AI tools.

SPONGEBOB & SANDY'S COUNTRY CHRISTMAS

For this exciting stop-motion special, my team was entrusted with the mission of transforming existing assets—photography from the stills—into captivating art for use across all media platforms, digital, and on our Paramount+ platform.

In this half-hour holiday adventure, chaos ensues when one of Sandy’s experiments takes a disastrous turn. With Christmas in Bikini Bottom hanging in the balance, the Cheeks family must band together in a high-stakes quest to save the day and restore the holiday spirit.

THE THUNDERMANS RETURN

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.

THE FIRST WOMAN

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.

TMNT

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

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

BABY SHARK'S BIG MOVIE

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.

(I’m saving you a write up full of puns because frankly I cannot physically read them any longer. But trust me, there were a sea of puns built into every inch and presentation of this project. I will spare you.)

SLIMETIME

NFL Slimetime is a commentary show that infuses the spirit of the NFL with the boundless, 'anything-can-happen' enthusiasm of Nickelodeon.

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 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.

RUBBLE AND CREW

PAW Patrol star and fan favorite, Rubble, is at the helm of some awesome construction adventures. We strived to make Rubble and his crew look like a heroic family of awesome builders in our key art. Not only do these pups build amazing things for the town of Builder Cove, but they often save the day in the process.

IN THE WEEDS, LIZA TREYGER

I collaborated with Liza Treyger on concepting and art directing the promotional materials for her stand-up comedy European tour, In The Weeds. Liza is an incredibly dynamic stand-up—always eager to explore new ideas. We embraced the theme of "the weeds," using it as an interactive element for Liza to play with, adding depth and personality to the visuals. In addition to the main graphic, we also crafted social content that highlighted her unique energy and comedic style.

THE SUBSTITUTE

The Substitute" is a prank show where celebrities undergo transformations by a team of special effects artists to go undercover as substitute teachers, surprising an unsuspecting class. When developing the creative, our goal was to convey the essence of the show without revealing any of its surprises. And what better way to do that than through the kids' reactions? By placing the viewer in the role of The Substitute, we’ve crafted a key art piece that feels both inviting and full of unexpected moments.

LIP SYNC BATTLE SHORTIES

Hosted by Nick Cannon and JoJo Siwa, Lip Sync Battle Shorties brings everyday kids center stage to compete in high-energy lip-sync challenges. This creative was the perfect opportunity to design a dynamic scene—shooting our talent from an overhead perspective and transforming our graphics into a vibrant, interactive dance floor.

DANGER FORCE

Danger Force is the action-packed spin-off of the hit series, Henry Danger. For this creative, we wanted to introduce our audience to the new characters in a way that felt both fresh and familiar—using a similar color story and dynamic fight stances to visually connect them to the Henry Danger universe. This approach reinforces the excitement of expansion while signaling an epic new chapter in the story.
