SOCIAL (Twitter & Facebook) MICROSOFT (MSN) Most of the work coming from Microsoft stems from social campaigning (Bing, Office, and MSN). My role during this project was to come up with new creative concepts. I worked closely with an art director and copy writer. Coming from our last campaign Things Organized Neatly, Microsoft wanted a new direction that clearly pointed out the most useful parts of their new app and desktop website.

CONCEPT The concept of this campaign was simple: Call out important facts that can be found throughout the app. This idea was to show how convenient it was to navigate and use the apps for the clients. Like the app, we also ran this campaign for the individual sites as well.
DESIGN General Food & Drink
CREATIVE PITCH CONCEPT (Objects Creating Objects) After some research from competing companies, we liked the idea of Objects Creating Objects. The idea was to take parts of an overall theme and use it to make everyday use objects. In this case, since we were marketing the new app, I came up with the idea of using mobile and tablet devices. This would be specifically for the app. Microsoft loved the idea but because of disagreements on the deadline and photo shoot issues, we went with a simpler concept of Call Out Points.
UI DESIGN MITSUBISHI The opportunity to help design and build assets for Mitsubishi was a huge honor. The launch of the 2016 Outlander was the premise of this project.

PRODUCTION ASSETS (Photoshop) es se We were only given one trim shot of the car. My objective was to photoshop and give the car the necessary treatment needed to create the different trims. - Between the ES and SE, I had to create a roof without roof racks. - Created a background for their trims and specs section along with build and price. - This treatment was used on six different 2016 Outlander colors. - Removed the brand of tire in all assets and 360 vehicle assets. (The car was displayed in 12 different angles) sel gt

UI DESIGN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON Throughout our relationship with Southern California Edison, we have been responsible for several redesigns in certain sections of their website. We pitched for several months on the UX wireframes and finally got the thumbs up to start designing and prototyping. Working close with our senior UX designer (using strict branding and government guidelines), we came up with a beautiful design. Having so many restrictions was by far the hardest aspect about this project. Role: Digital Designer Client: Southern California Edison Agency: POSSIBLE Year: 2014-2015
