PORTFOLIO_____________
Videography
NRPA Gold Award Nomination: Project link
• NAS Whiting Field’s MWR Department became a finalist for the NRPA Gold Award in
May 2019. The department had three weeks to produce a five-minute video that
showcased it’s programs and facilities and how it serves it’s military patrons. I
filmed almost 120 hours of event footage, recorded 3 interviews of important MWR
partners and edited background narration, b-roll and footage into a comprehensive
5-minute video. The video is now shown weekly as part of the base personnel
Welcome Aboard brief and indoctrination.
MWR Reopening Guidelines: Project link
• With the prospect of reopening after the COVID pandemic, the NAS Whiting Field’s
MWR Department wanted to create a video that showed the new rules and
regulations for reopening. I storyboarded, filmed and edited the video. Production
took two weeks.
Great Navy Camp Out Video Review: Project link
• NAS Whiting Field’s MWR Department wanted to build a video portfolio of past
events to use as event showcases as well as future advertising. I filmed and edited
this stand-alone video that shows how much fun our staff and patrons had at our
annual Great Navy Camp Out. Production took three days.

Interior Design
NAS Whiting Field’s Fitness Center: Photos Attached (“NOFFS Before” and “NOFFS After”)
• NAS Whiting Field’s MWR Department received a grant to implement Navy
mandated fitness equipment. With the necessity of shutting down the fitness center
for installation, the department leadership decided to update the aesthetics of the
fitness center. I created an initial design plan that was later implemented using in-
house labor and very few outside resources. I also designed 28 posters that were
hung in different locations throughout the fitness center.
• Project budget: $6,800

• Outside resources: paint and paint supplies from Home Depot, vinyl banners from
Tier One Graphics, gold tape from Amazon and poster frames from Displays2Go
• Implementation took place over four 12-hour days to paint the entire fitness center,
hang class advertising posters and place vinyl decal work.
NAS Whiting Field’s Group Exercise Room: Photos Attached (“Group X Before” and “Group
X After”)
• During the pandemic shut down, NAS Whiting Field’s MWR Department decided to
seize the opportunity to update the aesthetics of their Group Exercise room. It was
requested that the design be cohesive with the design of the fitness center that was
completed months earlier.
• Project budget: $100
• Outside resources: paint and paint supplies from Home Depot, vinyl stickers printed
in-house and gold tape from Amazon
• Implementation took place over four three-hour days to paint the entire exercise
room and place vinyl stickers on the walls.

Graphic Design
Potato Jazz Product Packaging: Photos Attached (“Product Packaging (1)” and “(2)”)
• WMG Sales Inc. was required to remove a logo from their packaging due to a
dissolved partnership. The company would be required to spend $7,000 to reprint
new packaging. They asked me, the in-house graphic designer, to simply remove the
logo from the packaging for reprint. I convinced the sales manager to update the
packaging while going through the reprint process. We later approached the
business owner with a sample and he agreed to the change and the redesign process
proceeded. I created a fresh, new package design with a hang-picked color scheme,
photos taken myself and designed the FDA nutrition labels myself using legal
research done, also, by myself. The project took a full month to complete and the
products were shipped to several different national locations.
