Mega Social Showreel
“Do you edit things for social?”
I have often been asked this question when touting my wares to people. And the answer has always been, “Yes.” But I’ve never added them to my website because they’re kinda funny looking, with their strange frame sizes and gaudy subs.
Then one day, it came to me — Why not bring all my social cuts together and create something dazzling? Behold, my Mega Social Showreel.

MTV Print Campaign —
Ex on the Beach
Experienced in developing print for several television campaigns over the years, the launch of MTV’s hit reality show, Ex on Beach was unique as I was the lead creative directing both the live action promo and the key art. As bold and brash as the contestants on the show, we created versions for billboard, online and pretty much every social going.
