ENC Website Refresh
Launched April, 2021

In 2020, my team was tasked with the project of refreshing the ENC website in-between client work.

My role was to handle all of the backend development in WordPress, administration of the staging site, including taking control of the transfer during launch, and help build the pages.

After researching and installing the theme, the Creative Director and I worked on building the final product, which was launched in spring, 2021.

Once the ENC website was launched, we immediately started working on a short video to promote the company. I created this animated logo reveal in Adobe After Effects.

Unfortunately, ENC Strategy closed July 1, 2021, and the video project was not able to be completed.

Fit to Fight Video

Dell Technologies

One of the last tasks before ENC Strategy closed in July, 2021, I was asked to create an explainer video for one of our client’s inside sales divisions. My job was to oversee all the video production, create the animations and assemble the final video.

I am especially proud at the animation in the “Fit to Fight” logo lockup that shows up in the open and close. This animation stinger was a huge hit with both the team and our client.

Similar to the AGB video above, we hired a voice actor from Bunny Studio to narrate the video and I pulled stock b-roll and music from Envato.
