WildWoods forest is situated in the heart of Atlanta Georgia, home of Fernbank Museum of Natural History.
We created an immersive night time experience that would celebrate the hidden magic within this special sanctuary.
WildWoods Aglow uses light, sound, music, and interactive technology to make giant mushrooms sing, spores dance with the movement of your hand, and animals stir to the percussive beat of your feet.

Montreal multidisciplinary artist Kelly Nunes invited me to create illustrative graphics for his latest immersive experience, Earth Room, at Centre Never Apart.

Oceanides was a highly challenging and rewarding project. It began with a few simple words — “we want to put dancers in tanks of water and rotate them”. From there, things became increasingly ambitious in scope and implementation. Fortunately, armed with an excellent team, our ideas materialized to stunning effect.
My role as Art Director on Oceanides started at the initial conception phase and continued throughout design and production. I crafted the visual language and atmosphere of the project down to the smallest detail. Seeing my ideas evolve from sketches into an immersive, fully-fledged performance was an exhilarating experience.
Oceanides was a nominee for the 2021 PGA Innovation Award.

Our team was tasked with enhancing AT&T’s Discovery District with a visually rich and culturally engaging installation, one that embodied the company’s core principles. Moment Factory enlisted a stunning range of talent for this project, ultimately producing 24 hours of content through cinematic capsules to be displayed on a 104 foot LED screen.
I served as Art Director on a capsule called “The Thinker”. It was conceived to represent AT&T’s commitment to creative innovation through dreaming, aspiration, and a passion for the future. It consists of 7 distinct characters who each sit within the “window” of the screen, their surroundings slowly evolving from a plain background into a vivid and dreamlike tableau as their internal fantasies become reality.

For CBC's This Life, Sphere Media and The Workshop collaborated to create the opening sequence of the television show. I served as Art Director, concept artist, and did a bit of filming with cinematographer/director Vinoth Varatharajan.
Shooting on location and on set, we captured the spirit of Montreal and the unique members that make the This Life family.
Conceptually we wanted to explore the idea that life is a beautiful mirage in the passing of time, all connected and fleeting. We wanted to capture this continuous feeling by matching images in the edit visually. Connecting the fireworks of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, with sparklers of kids running on the train tracks of Rosemont, etc.
