Upfront 2012-2013
National Geographic’s annual Upfront introduced upcoming programming to advertisers and media partners. I designed the website landing page as a layered parallax experience that revealed the programming through depth and movement.
National Geographic is where I began my design career. An internship(2009) with National Geographic Channel grew into a full-time role after graduation and later an opportunity to join the National Geographic Society. This archive brings together selected work across digital, print, packaging, motion, and brand design.

Superstorm is a documentary special about Superstorm Sandy. I created the opening and closing motion graphics. The package combined color correction, lightning-flash transitions, and subtle movement to build tension around the story.
To promote the documentary series The ’80s, the team reimagined classic movie posters with children in the leading roles. I recreated the first two posters, while senior print designer Mary Dunnington created the remaining four. The artwork appeared online and at PR events.
Big Cat Week celebrated National Geographic’s wildlife storytelling through a week of dedicated programming. I designed the DVD packaging shown here, carrying the campaign’s dramatic animal imagery across the outer cover and interior disc layout.

For National Geographic’s presence at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, I created event materials that brought its wildlife and conservation storytelling into a polished festival setting.
In 2015, my creative director invited me to join the nonprofit side of National Geographic. There, I created digital and internal communications work for the Society, including an animated magazine banner and a logo recognizing an adventurer honored for courage.
