He’s just a little guy!
I was able to animate our green owl pal for these charmingly unhinged spots alongside the lovely team at Giant Ant. Watch along as innocent Duo finds himself in a series of unfortunate circumstances.

Bad Bunny 101
A little twerking, a little pava hat. I was able to animate the bird for this 15 second ad leading up to the 2026 Super Bowl. The job was a sprint - start to finish in just two weeks! We honestly had a blast.

duolingo music
A genre hopping launch spot for Duolingo’s music app, designed as an immersive fly through experience. I handled all of the compositing on this one, stringing the scenes together and adding 3D props to the environments, as well as animating characters in several scenes.
