I was the Lead Motion Graphics and Visual Designer for six years at TRUiC, where I helped start and direct three YouTube channels totaling 650+ videos. In my time there we grew those YouTube channels from 0 to 210k total subscribers and 13,800,000+ total views. The primary focus was to create educational content on how to start and run a small business, as well as learn from the lives of established entrepreneurs. Below is some of my favorite work.

These graphics were primarily for foundational content on business formation and maintenance. I chose simple and relatable illustrations to make it easy and entertaining to digest large amounts of information.
These graphics were for a different series of videos focusing on interviewing small business founders. Instead of making complex information easy to digest, my task was to highlight the teachings of these successful entrepreneurs. Some of my favorite work from this series are the title screens.
These graphics were also for foundational content on business formation and maintenance. They had a strong emphasis on 3D animation and cartoonish characters.
