Dyson

With over 125 years of history, Oregon Symphony is the oldest orchestra west of the Mississippi, but its legacy is anything but traditional. As its artistic vision evolved, so did its need for a cohesive digital experience. We partnered together to modernize the Symphony’s web presence with an identity uniquely rooted in Portland’s culture and creativity. In tandem, we built a new website and ticketing platform designed to capture more ticket sales, subscriptions and self-service renewals to drive long-term strategic growth.

Beauty & the Beast

SKETCH TO SCREEN
To coincide with the release of Beauty & the Beast, Disney commissioned me to translate BAFTA and Academy Award winning costumer Jacqueline Durran's original designs for Belle's iconic yellow dress into moving fashion illustration. The film was made in collaboration with the Made Great in Britain campaign celebrating exceptional British creativity and craft.
