Hobby
Illustrations
Design Process: I kick off each artistic project by sourcing images for inspiration. It's rare that my initial sketches mirror the final product as iteration is key to my creative process.
Design, to me, is an ongoing journey of refinement. Interestingly, colour is the last element I incorporate into my projects, yet it holds immense significance. It serves as a powerful tool in evoking emotions and unifying the visual narrative. Crafting harmonious colour compositions is an important part of my design process, enriching each creation with depth and resonance.
Animation
Grace Jones
Exploring animation proved both challenging and rewarding. Inspired by Grace Jones' timeless style, I crafted a brief animated tribute, drawing from her iconic imagery. This project served as a platform to hone my animation skills while paying homage to a creative icon.
Introduction
Crafting my first animated piece was both a labor of love and a learning experience. As an introduction to YxM Productions, I embarked on the challenge of animation for the first time. Each frame was a culmination of numerous sketches and dedicated hours, as I navigated the intricacies of the craft and brought my vision to life.
Film
The Interview
THE INTERVIEW leads with Cofie, a young black man that is desperately trying to move forward in life. He, like many young people, would like to start establishing roots and build the foundation for his future. These values land him an opportunity to be interviewed for a consulting job. Haunted by a traumatizing past, he is confronted by the antics of his previous life and his bright future begins to slowly slip away during his wait.
Role: Art Director & Graphic Designer
Film Process: As Art Director, I steered the film's artistic vision from concept to execution, ensuring alignment with the script. Pre-production involved meticulous sketching and mood board creation. Post-production, I led promotional design efforts.
Victor
Role: Director
Film Process: Inspired by Victor's photography, "Victor" was my debut short film, shot on an iPhone 6s. The project aimed to mirror Victor's creative process authentically.
