CLASH @ COMIC-CON
For Comic-Con 2024, I served as Design Director, collaborating with Jack Morton and Supercell to bring The World of Clash mobile games to life—by creating an over-the-top themed restroom experience (yes, really). From pitch to construction, our team embraced the absurdity, pushing every idea to the extreme. The result was a towering 25-ft foam-sculpted battle wagon, immersive interiors, custom props, and even a photo op, all designed to turn the difficult task of finding a place to “go” at comic-con into an undeniably memorable experience.

CREATIVE TOOLBOX
There’s often no blueprint when you’re venturing into unexplored territory. That’s a big reason why I love what I do, but it becomes even more important to effectively communicate ambitious ideas in a way that everyone across a team can understand and support. Through an iterative design process on a wide range of projects, I’ve put together a particularly unique toolbox of skills that enable me to do this by producing 3D models, concept renders, storyboards, narrative scripts, graphics, pitch decks, prototypes, mood boards, custom props, construction drawings, production budgets, scope lists, game design docs, and everything in between in order to turn that big idea into a reality.
Below are a few of the more visual examples of these skills from various stages of the project.
