Collaborated with Hatch Sleep’s in-house design team to further develop their brand guidelines on illustration, as well as design and illustrate their Babies & Kids audio library illustrations.



In-app illustrations in use.

Made in collaboration with Spotify's in house creative team. Spotify brought me on to direct and illustrate their 2020 Premium Holiday campaign.

For this campaign I was tasked with creating 15 different looping spots advertising their “3 months free” Spotify Prime special promotion.

Things are not what they seem but are definitely three times better, this running theme was achieved by remixing familiar music imagery in a whole new magical light, now to the power of three! Kaleidoscopic compositions overall helped bend reality even further.


Key art created exclusively for this campaign.


Once the key art was approved I directed a team of motion designers and cell animators at Hornet to bring these spots to life. Here are some of the animations from the campaign.
