Charivari, a Fashion Uproar

Draft Productions
Draft Productions needed animated maps to document the retail expansion of Charivari across Manhattan. Five maps covering 30 years of growth, from a single Upper West Side storefront in 1968 to a network of locations across the city. Built in a mixed 2D and 3D environment with animated store reveals, dates, labels, and camera moves cut directly into the documentary edit. The engagement has since expanded to include a title sequence and architectural visualization work.

Fargo Brewing Brunch Buster

Fargo Brewing Company
Produced a one-minute brand video for Fargo Brewing's annual New Year's Day brunch event, a collaboration between the brewery, a local coffee roastery, and a restaurant partner. Built around the visual and process parallels between craft brewing and specialty coffee roasting, using BTS footage from both locations. No narration. Social reach was poor. The event sold out.
