For Oakley Future Genesis, the challenge was to reestablish Oakley's reputation as an innovative brand while honoring its rich legacy. Leveraging Oakley's decades-long commitment to cutting-edge design, we crafted a brand narrative featuring Max Fearlight and his daughter, Maxine Fearlight, bridging the brand's past achievements with its future aspirations.
The opportunity lay in Oakley's history of groundbreaking products and their Purpose Beyond Reason philosophy, providing a solid foundation for our creative direction. In my collaboration with Kamp Grizzly and Oakley, we developed an engaging Animated Film Series and a comprehensive 360 Campaign, breathing life into Oakley's brand fiction.
My role as Art and Design Director involved shaping the visual identity of both the animated series and the campaign. Additionally, I contributed to the brand's world-building efforts, ensuring a cohesive and impactful narrative throughout. With with 85.9 million+ impressions globally, Future Genesis stands as Oakley's highest performing piece of brand content in its history, affirming the success of our approach in reinvigorating the brand's legacy while charting a course for its future. This campaign has not only reconnected Oakley with its pioneering spirit but has also laid a solid foundation for the brand's continued evolution and innovation.

The challenge for Adidas Mahomes II lay in crafting an iconic footwear campaign around Patrick Mahomes' latest training silhouette. Drawing on Mahomes' unmatched achievements and unwavering dedication, our goal was to capture his energy, determination, and the hours spent in training as the basis of our campaign.
The opportunity emerged when Adidas provided compelling training photography, showcasing Mahomes' relentless commitment to excellence. This provided the perfect canvas to infuse Mahomes' persona into the campaign, incorporating his "2PM" moniker into the angle of our hero product shots and infusing both athlete and product photography with a dynamic sense of energy through our photo treatment. To ensure seamless messaging across all platforms, we devised a flexible design system, allowing for consistency and impact throughout while remaining flexible.
In my capacity as Art Director, I spearheaded the creation of the campaign's overall aesthetic and led the development of the design system, ensuring every element resonated cohesively.

The challenge with Oakley Prizm was to reintroduce its cutting-edge, technically advanced lens technology in a way that resonated with both unprofessional athletes and regular people. The opportunity lay in showcasing Prizm's unparalleled performance—once experienced, its advantage becomes unmistakably clear.
Our solution involved crafting an engaging 360-degree campaign that married irreverent messaging with captivating product photography. By featuring astonished athletes experiencing the transformative power of Prizm firsthand, we aimed to convey its awe-inspiring benefits to viewers.
Central to our approach was the "line of sight" visual treatment, which directly communicated Prizm's advantages in a clear and impactful manner. This visual motif extended across action photography and video, creating a cohesive narrative that underscored Prizm's superiority.

In launching Adrenochrome Energy, the challenge was to channel the bombastic energy of early 2000s energy drink advertising in a modernized way.
The opportunity arose from the freedom to craft not just the brand's messaging, but also its flavor, coloring, and overall experience.
Adrenochrome Energy—a blood-red, kiwi-strawberry flavored energy drink that embraces an appropriately extreme, blood-themed approach.
We juxtaposed sterile, medical-inspired brand elements with gory macro fruit photography to evoke a sense of vampiric luxury.
