We're a crack squad of off-brand imagineers and investors, helping to develop founder-led businesses and radical hospitality offerings in the American Southeast. An average day involves art direction, automation scripting, branding, consulting, content creation, copywriting, deck-building, graphic design, historical research, market studies, mural design, prototyping, printing, painting, signage design, sourcing for FF&E and art, training, and generally biting off more than one would think we could chew. Then chewing it.

People haven't been venturing out into the rad outdoors for thousands of years, just to sit in a polyester bag on tent sticks. At Trippy, we're bringing the creativity and life back to outdoor goods. I collab with a small team of do-gooders, creating in-house illustration, packaging, animation, web design, copy, and content. Plus I make dumb jokes.

I got to shake some dust with my partner Juan Garcia, making paid media and social content for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Kanab County, the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, and Boncom Motion Studios. Decks were built, illustrations were animated, pitches were nailed, deadlines were hit, and hoops were missed (but only during yogurt breaks.) 10/10 would do again.

I developed 15 print, digital, and video campaigns to teach both students and staff at BYU about the importance of keeping their data safe. I was also the designer and developer of infosec.byu.edu, the very first website for data security and privacy at BYU. A typical week saw me solving technical or communication problems using stylish animation, neat websites, custom illustration, and eye-catching copywriting.

I had the opportunity to learn from some of the best minds in advertising, while collaborating with/leading teams to create both real and spec work. I designed and animated extensively, but I also contributed to copywriting, strategy, and production management, because who needs labels?Some clients I worked for:Pearle Vision (with EnergyBBDO) - Banner resizing and prep for motion/publicationAlka-Seltzer (with EnergyBBDO) - Concepting and design for the US Hispanic marketUnder Armour - Under...NDA.BYUtv - Rebrand awareness strategy
