I was hired by CNN as a Lead Motion Graphics Designer for their web3 venture, Vault, to design all of the animated media. This included NFTs released in our marketplace, as well as marketing collateral for our social pages and newsletters, and assets for the website. I worked closely with Vault’s Art Director, to develop a motion design language and branding identity used across all media. Throughout my time on the team, I’ve animated the works of New York Times and Wall Street Journal Illustrators, and Pulitzer Prize winning photographers. Additionally, I also worked with the Art Director and Producer to help curate an artist series, and collaborated with other NFT projects as well, such as Probably Nothing, Emergeast, and Superchief for an NFT.NYC exhibition. Below are some of my favorite pieces I’ve made while at CNN.
