SLICE Office / Bumper Animation




For use on the SLICE Office Instagram. A good exercise in constructing a scotty dog’s movement and anatomy from scratch -- harder than it looks!



Tartan Connect / Logo Animation




An animated version of the logo for TartanConnect, CMU’s event website. To create this animation, I worked backwards from the site’s static logo, imagining how these five figures might come together to form the final design.



Tartan Connect / Website Banners




For use on the TartanConnect homepage. These banners serve as a colorful introduction to the site’s functions: helping students engage with campus organizations, their community, and the city of Pittsburgh. They are color-coded to match SLICE Office brand guidelines.
