Bruin Giving Day
Creative Direction & Production
Bruin Giving Day was launched this year as UCLA’s first giving day. It brings together Bruins—alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, and friends to support the full spectrum of the university’s mission. This year, I had the honor of contributing to Bruin Giving Day through creative direction and media production, helping shape the visual storytelling and dynamic content that brought the campaign to life across digital platforms.
Blue & Gold Challenge
Creative Direction & Production
Bruins near and far set new records for generosity in fall 2024 as they responded to UCLA’s largest annual fund drive that culminated at the UCLA vs. USC rivalry game at the historic Rose Bowl. Giving during the weeklong campaign totaled nearly $2.87 million, an increase of more than 50% over the previous year. The number of gifts — over 7,000 — was the highest tally in the annual campaign’s 13 years. I creative directed and produced the video elements for this campaign.
Student Portraits
This collection of images captures the heart of UCLA—its students. Shot for a fall campaign, these portraits highlight the passion, diversity, and ambition that define the Bruin experience. From quiet moments of determination to vibrant campus life, each image tells a story of growth, community, and the boundless potential of our students.
