Roles: Creative Direction, Art direction

As the Senior Art Director at Taylor, I was instrumental in conceptualizing, producing, and overseeing the post-production of 'Resilience Reimagined,' a powerful series brought to life in partnership with Capital One. This initiative shone a spotlight on the extraordinary responses of individuals and organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular focus on their innovative and resilient approaches to unprecedented challenges.

We adopted a documentary film and photography style, meticulously researching and selecting subjects, locations, and moments that would resonate with viewers. Despite the pandemic's constraints, we successfully captured compelling on-site footage and crafted five captivating documentary films and five photo essays in 2020.
