Animation at Work

Where an animation background shows up in marketing, direction and production roles.

Kugali Media · Marketing & IP Intern

Pitch shaping

Tasks

  • Built pitch materials and research decks
  • Reviewed storyboards and scripts against deadlines

How animation helped

I board my own animation, so I could see where a pitch needed a clearer visual idea.

Live Nation · Contracted Creative Marketing Director

Directing the film

Tasks

  • Developed the concept, narrative and visual language
  • Made projection-ready visuals for live performance

How animation helped

I animated the world in After Effects myself, so the concept and the visuals were designed together.

Refine LA · Marketing Coordinator, zine launch lead

Leading a campaign

Tasks

  • Led the zine promo film, interviews and cover campaign
  • Proposed and animated the garment life-cycle video

How animation helped

Animation is delivered one piece at a time, so I ran the launch that way and finished a week early.

Co Curate · Founder and independent contractor

Contract work

Tasks

  • Motion, illustration and brand commissions
  • Designed the brand and built the front end

How animation helped

Working across motion and design let me cover most of what a small client asks for.

FAST@UCLA · Director of Creative Media

Directing a team

Tasks

  • Set creative direction across a 14-person team
  • Produced the Nike x FAST shoot and promo video

How animation helped

A film means steering many people toward one cut, so holding a team to shared approvals felt familiar.

CTRL 4C · Writer, Producer & Director

Releasing my film

Tasks

  • Ran the timeline, budget and festival strategy
  • Rolled out process videos, reveals and teasers

How animation helped

I made the film, so the campaign came from real process footage and key art.

BAP Productions · Writers Room & Story Development Intern

Story development

Tasks

  • Wrote treatments and developed sequel narratives
  • Served as Script Supervisor and Writers' Room Lead

How animation helped

Boarding trains you to test a story shot by shot, which kept structure and continuity clear.
