Belin-Blank Center Commercial

In my Multimedia Specialist role at the Center, I had the opportunity to spearhead a brand awareness campaign to run across the state of Iowa on Hulu. On this project I ideated, produced/filmed, color graded, and edited the campaign video throughout a months long process of pivoting, thinking outside the box, and collaborating with management to ensure marketing objectives were achieved.

In collaboration with the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of Iowa, and the Neiman Foundation, I had the opportunity to contribute to the production of a book launch video for Travis Vogan’s book on artist LeRoy Neiman. I was closely involved throughout the process—helping with planning, lighting, filming, editing, and overall production—while working alongside a talented and supportive team.

The short documentary-style interview was filmed in the carriage house of the Grant Wood Home Estate in Iowa City. Our team was a part of a larger whole creating a campaign pushing social engagement for the book.

Big George’s Boxing Gym

In collaboration with Big George’s Boxing Gym in Iowa City, Iowa, I produced, filmed, and edited a feature on a fighter that practices at their gym. I was able to showcase the brand’s mission at Big George’s Gym. Utilizing only one day of practice to film and interview, I was pushed to a tight deadline in a fast and unpredictable work environment. All in all, this project was an amazing experience!
