Portfolio
A small taste of the work I'm most proud of: short film documentary, interview series, skit series, twelve magazine issues, and assorted design projects.
Project 1
Deaf Community: New England
(short documentary)
RESEARCHER / INTERVIEWER / ASSISTANT EDITOR
One of my favorite projects. Six states, 50+ interviews, countless stories.
View the short documentary.
Project 2
Deaf Community: SoCal Stories
(interview series)
RESEARCHER / INTERVIEWER / ASSISTANT EDITOR
Being from California, this project was personal and a chance to dig into the stories of immigration and Deaf Hollywood in my home state.
View the interview series.
Project 3
Which VRS Caller Are You?
(short video series)
CREATIVE DIRECTOR / PROJECT LEAD / EDITOR
I took full creative control and went all in: 8 video skits, an Instagram filter, and a webpage of assorted VRS caller personas. One of Convo’s most successful campaigns, and easily the most fun.

Project 4
NADmag
(12 print issues)
VISUAL DESIGNER
My first job out of college: National Association of the Deaf brought me in to revamp their brand from the ground up, and the bimonthly NADmag became my favorite outlet for it: twelve issues of layout and publication design.
Project 5
National Deaf Therapy

DIRECTOR
My first project directing, and the one that convinced me I wanted to keep working with actors and getting their best work out of them.

Project 6
A Week in the Life of Ian Sanborn
(online commercial)
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR / SCREENWRITER
The first time I wrote a video script from scratch and assisted with directing, and I'm proud of how it turned out.

Creative Work
Assorted Design Projects
VISUAL DESIGN / ILLUSTRATION
TrueBiz ASL: A logo built to show the vibrancy of ASL right in the hands themselves.
DeafScoop: A clean, crisp design meant to feel like online chatter in visual form.
National Association of the Deaf: A postcard promoting NAD's two conferences that year, pairing state silhouettes with the NAD logo and a color palette that keeps both events distinct yet part of one story.
“It Gets Better” poster: I created this poster for the “It Gets Better” campaign for a client who wanted to surprise her brother with it.
