Visual Storyteller & Dark Fantasy Creator *Casper Kelly’s “Cheddar Goblin” – A Nightmarish TV Commercial Insert in Mandy

As the Art Director, Production Designer, and Small Props Builder for the “Cheddar Goblin” TV commercial insert—a terrifying, surreal, and darkly comedic segment created for Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy (2017)—I helped bring to life one of the most unsettling yet hilarious fake commercials ever committed to film. This insert, dreamed up by Casper Kelly (Adult Swim’s Too Many Cooks), Shane Morton (practical effects maestro behind Smurf the Cat), and producer Michael Sokol, was a deliciously deranged homage to 1980s infomercials, complete with a puppet monstrosity, practical effects, and a nightmare-inducing mascot that erupts from a bowl of macaroni to vomit cheesy pasta all over unsuspecting children.

Visual Storyteller & Costume Designer: FX’s Archer – “The Kimono Costumer for Ray Gillette”

As the Kimono Costumer for Ray Gillette on FX’s Archer, the Emmy-winning adult animated sitcom created by Adam Reed, I had the opportunity to bring a unique blend of humor, style, and cultural flair to one of animation’s most iconic characters. In this role, I worked alongside the show’s wardrobe department to craft Ray’s kimono-inspired looks, ensuring every outfit reflected his flamboyant personality, sharp wit, and larger-than-life persona—all while staying true to the show’s satirical, high-fashion aesthetic.

Visual Storyteller & Onscreen Visual Artist: Fernando Frías’ Fashion Short Film “Cana Miel”

In Fernando Frías’ evocative fashion short film “Cana Miel”, I served as the onscreen visual artist, contributing to the film’s dreamlike, sensory-rich aesthetic. This project was a visually immersive exploration of texture, movement, and emotion, where every frame was crafted to evoke the raw beauty and cultural depth of the subject matter. My role involved creating and integrating motion graphics, visual effects, and stylized onscreen elements that enhanced the narrative’s poetic and tactile quality.

Wardrobe Stylist & Visual Storyteller: 22Squared Inc. & Blast Films – Leading Inclusive Fashion for Publix’s 2020 Thanksgiving Campaign

22squared Inc. & Blast Films hired me to lead the Wardrobe department for Publix Super Market's 2020 Thanksgiving commercial produced by Tim Murphy. It is one of the few projects I worked on during the COVID-19 lockdown. 

*I am especially inspired by the inclusivity in their messaging: "Thanksgiving is celebrated in countless different ways. But no matter what your table looks like, or what you put on it, Publix Super Markets is determined to celebrate every family gathered around one."

Visual Storyteller & Creative Force: State Line Films – Brummel & Brown’s Humorous “Awards Show” Commercial

As a multi-disciplinary visual storyteller, I served as the Art Director, Production Designer, and Wardrobe Stylist for the Brummel & Brown commercial, directed by Wes Whitner and produced by State Line Films in 2018. 

Media Production: BBDO – Bringing Toys ‘R’ Us Magic to Life "Awwwsome" Commercials

As part of the production team for the Toys ‘R’ Us “Awwwsome” commercials—directed by Jim Issa, with cinematography by Eric De Fino, and produced by BBDO Atlanta (2015–2016)—I contributed to crafting the vibrant, playful, and nostalgic visuals that captured the essence of Toys ‘R’ Us. 

Onscreen Visual Artist & Motion Designer Bringing Tribeca Condos to Life

As an onscreen visual artist and motion designer, I specialize in transforming concepts into captivating visuals that elevate storytelling. For the Tribeca Condos television commercial, directed by Paul Mogg, I played a key role in crafting the visual identity of this luxury residential development in Singapore. My work focused on creating dynamic, elegant, and immersive motion graphics and visual effects that highlight the condos’ modern architecture, lifestyle appeal, and prime location.

Brand Ambassador, Visual Artist, & Communicator

I  bridge the gap between aesthetic storytelling and authentic communication. In this role, I don’t just represent a brand—I bring its story to life through compelling visuals and persuasive storytelling, ensuring every interaction resonates with its core values, mission, and audience.

As a verbal communicator, I craft clear, engaging narratives that align with the brand’s identity, in social media captions, presentations, or live engagements. I make brand messages memorable & actionable.
