One of my final projects at co:collective, each page of the UX interface was created in photoshop in working layers that would follow both the animator and developer's work flow.
In 2011, a friend called me needing help dressing an independent label's band for their next music video. Knowing that tight deadlines and non existent budgets were my specialty, he was confident I could pull off three wardrobes in less than seven days. With a little help from stores with generous return policies, sewing skills cultivated during a brief stint in the Girl Scouts, and the band's preexisting wardrobe; we were able to pull it off.
My favorite detail about this video is knowing that the red dress worn by the story's heroine had once been her mother's wedding gown. It was completely altered and hand dyed in my bathtub at 2 am the day before I was diagnosed with mono.
For me this video will always serve as a gentle reminder that anything is possible if you want it badly enough.
One of the most intensive projects I've ever worked on. Redesigns were happening to the app up until the launch date, and in the final week I was tasked with remaking the entire layout of all the user interface frames used in the video. It was a crash course in creating animation frames in Photoshop, and adapting from the program Sketch.
If you look closely at the user icons, you may even see a familiar face.
In May 2011, the city of Joplin, MO was struck by the deadliest tornado since 1947. When we think of natural disasters, we tend to think of the devastation to the community and individuals. But when family homes are suddenly and unexpectedly destroyed... what happens to their pets?
This is when the ASPCA's Field Investigation Response team deploys. They are the nation's leading boots-on-ground team aimed at rescuing, caring for, and reuniting pets with their families during times of devastation. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to join them on site in Joplin in late June 2011. This is the story of the ASPCA's efforts to aid in recovery and providing temporary shelter to family and displaced pets.
This was a personal project, completely unaffiliated with the ASPCA. To learn more about the ASPCA's FIR team, click here.
