Starting in 2007, I have had various roles as a designer and eventually art director for cc.com. At the beginning of my time with Comedy Central, I was largely responsible for production aspects of upkeep, working with graphics sprites, font and color updates and various show, seasonal and thematic integration. 

Over the course of the years, the site has expanded significantly by adding video clips and full episodes for most shows on the network, eventually becoming the current responsive space for use on all devices. Working closely with the Site Production, Brand Creative and Product Development teams, I have had intimate working knowledge of site production, CSS and HTML, as well as establishing graphics templates for production designers to utilize. 

As Art Director for one of the initial launch properties in 2014, I created original branded design templates and custom art for Comedy Central's Snapchat Discover experience. Overseeing a team of designers since the initial launch, the platform had gone through multiple redesigns, and creative direction was shared between the Editorial Director, Creative Director of Video and myself. This responsibility not only put me in charge of design direction but also influencing and guiding video direction, set decoration, motion design, editorial considerations and programming initiatives. 

TheDailyShow.com was a true harbinger of what was to come for television. A stand alone site apart from cc.com, The Daily Show vertical experience was one of the first digital destinations that hosted the near complete run of a series online, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Alongside one additional web designer and a production artist, I was in responsible for the initial builds of the site from 2008, and eventually the sole designer in charge of refresh, updates and art direction through the series' eventual host turnover in 2015. 

Similarly and always the companion to Jon Stewart's outspoken voice, but clearly a character standing tall on his own, Stephen Colbert's The Colbert Report followed suit by having its own vertical show experience online. In this case I was the sole graphic designer under the art director responsible for design and upkeep of ColbertNation.com, eventually leading art direction through the show's finale in 2015.

Both show sites underwent several phases of redesign and featured various stunts, thematic updates based on seasons and show initiatives, and expanded to the responsive realm of web design in 2012. In keeping up with the changing digital spaces and upgrades, they also each benefitted from having several mobile app experiences, from the Daily Show Digest and the Colbert Word and Nation apps, which featured recent show clips and extended interviews, exclusive content and other show specific fan engagement materials. 

Beginning as two separate campaigns, The Rally to Restore Sanity and the March to Keep Fear Alive were the Daily Show's and The Colbert Report's response to a Glenn Beck Rally held in 2010. The show centered around a live show platform in DC featuring various comedy, music and entertainment celebrities to bring awareness to a larger audience across the country following years of divisiveness as a result of the Great Recession in 2008. 

As lead Designer with the Multiplatform group, I was responsible for creating the original poster designs featured on each of the shows and all of the digital marketing, social and O&O spaces including a custom website, and helped art direct a mobile app for use on the day of the event. Daily morning meetings were held with key stakeholders on the project including myself leading up to the day of the event, which helped coordinate time sensitive changes to talent, scheduling and editorial choices needed in various digital spaces. 

Collaborating with another designer and the Creative Director at Comedy Central Digital Media in 2009, we established a fresh look for the then recently obtained Jokes.com to feature a wide variety of comedian-based and original joke content. Acting as primary UX designer, my role was to develop and apply the styles informed by the logo design to the page through various formats and phases. I was also responsible for creating original iconography for the site and eventually overseeing art directing of the most recent incarnation, which was refreshed around 2012.

Several years in the making, the Season 5 Red Band Trailer for Workaholics was a feat of truly mind blowing proportions. Essentially an action movie production, the promos for WHXS5 were literally explosive, sexually charged and action packed. Working closely with the Brand Creative team, I lead art direction for a custom Tumblr site designed to be visually representative and engaging of all the things the trailer was meant to be. Featuring video clips, remix tools, production stills and a customizable GIF creator, we created an interactive experience that breathed life beyond the promos on TV, bring the experience to digital and social spaces. 

Working closely with Futurama show creators and the Multiplatform Art Director at Comedy Central, I was responsible for illustration, UX/UI and production design within the app. Various digital marketing materials were initiated through the marketing department which I was also responsible for creating and overseeing art direction with other designers on the team. 

Friends, family members and colleagues have occasionally asked me to design promotional marketing and related in-show materials for live events and show, which usually comes with a resounding "yes!" Truly a labor of love.

An ongoing personal project, I have been recording music and creating accompanying artwork as Interspace Recording Division (and a few other project-specific names) since 2000. As a form of artistic expression, I've accompanied every album or project with a required visual and usually physical component to compliment the creation of organized sound. The eventual emergence and recognition of repeating motifs, patterns, type and color choices has helped me better understand and focus my own preferences and direction as a designer and musician.

As an evolution to the 2011 Comedy Central Design Refresh, I was tasked in updating the overall look of what was previously and primarily The Daily Show's Indecision platform to a more streamlined and Comedy Central brand-centric motif. Removing stylistic elements of news-network gloss, bevels and excessive extrusion, the new designs were applied to digital spaces such as the regularly updated website, blog and social profiles.
