“Come Together” was born from a simple but timely question: How do you express unity in a global company when everyone is physically apart? As Creative Director, I set out to explore that idea through symbolism, texture, and motion. The concept used abstract objects to represent different cultures and customs around the world, all coming together to form a unified ring or wreath, symbolizing peace and shared purpose. Technically, the project was an experiment in harmony itself, blending stop-motion with 3D animation to reflect the theme of unity across differences. I led the overall direction and visual language, ensuring both mediums merged seamlessly, and that the storytelling stayed grounded in warmth and clarity. The result resonated deeply. What started as a thoughtful internal message went on to win 8 industry 1 Silver, MUSE Creative Awards. 1 Gold, Vega Awards. 1 Gold, NYX Awards. 1 Platinum, Viddy Awards. 1 Platinum, Hermes Creative Awards. 1 Gold, AVA Digital Awards. 1 Golds MarCom Awards. 1 Platinum, DotComm Awards.

Budget was tight on this one, so we had to get creative. Motion Designer David Szmit generously offered to shoot the stop-motion sequence right in his living room. It was a scrappy setup, but the result brought a handcrafted warmth that elevated the entire piece.
