Children’s Aid

2025 Benefit Video

I was contracted to create a short heartfelt video with the goal of attracting supporters to attend Children’s Aid 2025 Annual Gala or make a donation. I combed through 14 hours of footage including interviews, speeches, B-Roll, and footage from the previous year’s gala to weave a narrative that shows the experience of the students that Childrens’ Aid benefits. I animated the logo animations, lower thirds, and buffers in After Effects as well as cut and retouched all footage in Premiere.

Static Assets

Environmental Signage

For the 2024 Children’s Aid Benefit Gala we refreshed previous years’ large-scale signage to embrace the organizations recent rebrand and create a whimsicle and warm immersive environment designed to inspire attendees to donate to the childrens’ futures that the non-profit aims to support.

Print Assets

I also created a suite of print and digital promotional assets for Children’s aid including templates for postcards, web banners, and flyers in both English and Spanish. These were created in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

Motion Toolkit

I created a collection of animated title treatments for Children’s Aid in After Effects which feature easily editable placeholder text, and layered logo animations which can be extracted and used for future projects.
