Created the graphics and look for Emmy-award winning series 'Recipe for Change' where celebrities of a certain culture come together over a meal to discuss issues.
Collaboration with Dominic Soo. We directed, storyboarded, designed and executed the animation segment narrated by Simu Liu and title animation in 10 days using mixed media, 2d animation and stop motion.
Every food item in the title design and in the shabu shabu animation were photographed and composited. The ingredients were stop-motion animated under a top down setup, including the raw to cooked wagyu slices., meticulously cooked in various intervals to achieve the “swish” transformation.
See the full animation at 18:30 in the YouTube video.
We also created the title and transition graphics for the second episode - Recipe for Change: Standing Up to Antisemitism with Idina Menzel, Ilana Glazer & Moshe Kasher.
Moana, Turning Red, Cars 3, Star Wars: Rogue One Untold videos are interviews with talent revealing their personal journeys getting the role with art inspired by the films.
With these videos, I was the art and animation director, establishing the look and feel, storyboarding the motion beats and collaborating with animators and editors to complete the project.
The Moana video reached over 1 million views in 48 hours on Disney's social platforms which was considered a successful marketing video for the movie.
With my team at Disney, developed the stickers from concept to completion. We brainstorm all the different emotions and actions and begin sketching ideas and the characters, making sure they are easily recognized at a smaller size. For this set, I led the character design.
Once the design, colors and animatics are finalized, we deliver to a third-party agency for full execution. These stickers are widely used in iMessaging, Giphy and social media.

Launching a new series called “From Scratch”, I envisioned every prop from the Chien Po Bacon Fan to the Ping Pong Ball Egg Yolk. We used pixellation to animate my hands to prepare the congee.
I also created the series logo, title sequence.
Accumulated over 1 million views on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube within 48 hours.
For big brand co-operative marketing campaigns, I had the opportunity to animate products on-set. Collaborating with the Disney photography team, I would direct the animation and execute the post-production with quick turnaround and high attention to detail.
For the Turning Red movie release, we created this iconic sticker set for iOS, Giphy, Instagram and WhatsApp. We started by brainstorming ideas for the content and then sketched out different styles. Then we proceeded to create animatics for them (shown here, are my animatics next to the final pieces).
Once the design, colors and animatics are finalized, we deliver to a third-party agency for full execution.
