Animator
This was a co-branded piece, so the challenge was not inventing a new visual language from scratch. In 2021, I animated a video for a VMware and Microsoft collaboration, working with Stoke Group and the VMware team to make sure the final piece felt unified from both sides.
A lot of the job was adaptation. VMware already had an established motion system, so I used that as the foundation and built the animation around it rather than forcing a different style on top. The end result was a clean collaboration video that stayed on-brand and held together across teams.
- Worked with Stoke Group and VMware across production and review.
- Built the animation using VMware's established motion branding as the visual foundation.
- Helped shape a co-branded video that needed to feel consistent across both Microsoft and VMware.
