A Moment When… Digital Series
Title Cards from A Moment When… With John Legend
YouTube Thumbnail
Social Media Teasers
Studio: In-House SiriusXM, 2023
Animator & Designer: Tom Van Deusen
Creative Director: Bommy Kwon
Video Editor & Audio: Takashi Nomura
Series Producer: Quinn Villarreal
I designed and animated title cards for several series on YouTube while at SiriusXM, my favorite being A Moment When. The series producer asked me to make something resesmbling a cartoon spy film, and I drew inspiration from Saul Bass title cards, UPA animation and the title cards to The Pink Panther.
Along with the titlecards, I also designed the thumbnails for these series and static teasers for social media.

Buffalo Film Fest Trailer 2023
Animation, Storyboards, Styleframes: Tom Van Deusen
Art Director: LiSun Francisco
Producer: Keith Poplawski
Music: Wume
In 2023 and 2024, LiSun Francisco and I collaborated on the visual look and animation for the Buffalo Film Festival, an event close to my heart in my home city. For each of these, I based my storyboards and frames on the poster and Brandbook designed by LiSun, and had free reign to create an animation that would advetertise the show and be shown before each film.

Creative Director: Adriana Torres
Project Manager: Maurissa Jennings
In 2025 we created new animations for SiriusXM's classic mascot Stella, which had been recently redesigned in a company-wide rebrand. It was a privilege getting to animate her, especially since she was the entire reason I chose Sirius over XM when I was in high school (before they merged in 2005).

Life with John Mayer
"Not Your Typical Channel"
"Main Character Energy"
Studio: SiriusXM Internal
Animation, Design, Illustration: Tom Van Deusen, based off campaign by Dave Herchek
Editor: Emma Slowley
Producer: Caitlin Carter
When John Mayer debuted his SiriusXM channel, he filmed several promos in LA and took a very "hands-on" approach (even drawing a rough version of the channel logo). I created original graphics for these two promos, sprinkling in animations to correspond with John's monologue.

Art Director: Adriana Torres
For Halloween 2024, our team did a rebrand of the seasonal Scream Radio station on SiriusXM. Given just the static key art, I created an animation for social media and for a 3 panel Times Square billboard. I'm very happy that SiriusXM's brand team approved the bloddy S logo.

Producer: Nicole Piendel
Lyrical Genius was an interview / game made for SiriusXM's YouTube and Social Media. I based my design off of blueprint schematics, and tried to make it look "technological". You know, genius stuff. I made this into a MOGRT to save time for myself and our editing team since this was to be reused in a series.
