Animation

Here is a collection of animation I worked on during my time in-house at Charles Schwab. You'll find a range of techniques and creative solutions.

Harvest for All

The ask was simple - Remind Charles Schwab customers that Thanksgiving is a time for communal celebration and good food. For the Art direction I wanted to channel the warmth and innocence of children's book's with simplified shapes, both colors and subtle texturing. Cute animals never hurt either.

Account Statement Launch Video

Financial account statements are the farthest thing from fun. So when it was time to announce a redesign of Charles Schwab's statements, drumming up excitement seemed like a tall order. In order to share the new statement's benefits and features we decided to use the medium of paper itself. In place of a time consuming and costly stop-motion production, I worked with the animator to mimic the frame rate, lighting, and texture of that style.

New Years: Reasons to Celebrate

New Year's general messaging of resolution and celebration can provide a beautiful canvas for storytelling, but it's also a challenge in it's broadness. The Charles Schwab team and I decided to zoom in on all of the changes that a year can bring our clients by focusing on their literal touchpoints, their hands.
