Upwork

Some of the work I accomplished over almost three years with the internal creative team at Upwork. We started as a team of 4: 2 CD’s, 1 Design Director + 1 Producer and built out a team of close to 50 with over 30 more permalancers and the entire platform to pull technical and creative support from on a per project basis. Some of the bigger productions we ran through our AOR and some we did solo.

This is How We Work Now

We did this with Patrick Daughters during the height of Covid shutdown. No agency involved. Just yours truly and the 2 CD’s from the UPWORK creative dept.

Montefiore Presents 'Corazón'

Great idea. Amazing execution. I was blessed to be a part of getting it out in the world. This project proves that with a small, talented team anything is possible, anything.

Samsung + UA "Firsts Never Stop'

All of us have firsts, the things we cannot do. Some people decide that is it, they will never be able to overcome. It is just work, work and more work.

Google Streetview 'Cambodia'

I travelled with two video and creative teams to explore the temples of Angkor, Cambodia and create this little video to introduce the world to this incredible area of the world through the lens of Google Street View.

Many of these temples only allowed foot traffic, so the young people we worked with got the majority of the data with the streetview camera on their backs. It was an honor to be allowed to explore these sacred places.

Old Spice 'Response Campaign'

I made this happen and it made a lot of people really happy. It also broke the internet.

Old Spice Response Campaign

186 direct response videos written, shot, edited and posted live on average 10 min or less from initial interaction. Can’t say how cheap I produced it for, but if you ask me, I might give you a ballpark. Cheap, cheap…..

Nike 'Makers Unite'

Having lived in Portland off and on over the last 20 years, I have done hundreds of projects with Nike. Some directly with their Brand Communication Studio but many with the various agencies and creatives that work for them regularly. This was one of my favorites.
