  • I strategized and managed creative direction for the 2018 Riddell photoshoot in Los Angeles.
    I designed the idea of each player looking up in multiple scenarios to build as a motivational montage for marketing and advertising purposes.

    I created this video using Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro which stitches together footage from the shoot and motivational speeches to enhance the powerful concept of a mindshift.

    It was featured at Riddell National Sales Meeting in Las Vegas.

  • I co-directed Riddell’s photoshoot in LA to create a powerful playbook from start to finish.

    I immersed myself into Riddell’s manufacturing process, working alongside the internal teams for helmet and apparel design respectively.

    I collaborated with creative producers and professional photographers to find directions that would be useful across print and digital platforms.

    Here showcases samples from pre-production to post-production: from the look and color ways of the helmet and apparel, angles and sequence of the shots, to stitching it all together in post and large scale banners.

    The signage was featured in: Riddell’s National Sales Conference in Las Vegas, the Riddell catalog, throughout print and digital promotional pieces, and the “Smoke Series” social media campaign.
