My Favorite Skills
Creative Direction
My whole career and education has been geared towards gaining a breadth of knowledge and skills across a broad spectrum. Every project on my portfolio has some aspect of art or creative direction.
Motion Design
Motion design is one of my favorite mediums that I have encountered in all the types of design that I work with. I have worked on video ads, content videos, snapchat ads, explainer videos, and many creative motion design side projects. Be sure to look at my motion design reel.
Photography
Photography is another of my favorite mediums, and I was introduced into the world of Photography when learning how to do back-end photo manipulation in Photoshop. I have professionally edited photos throughout my career, planned and executed photoshoots for both marketing campaigns and weddings.
Riley’s Japan Guide
A personal project I did after my trip to Japan where I took all of my photography, all the research for the trip, and all the useful knowledge I learned while earning my minor in Japanese language and culture into a downloadable PDF travel guide for Japan. This includes general information, travel information, and itinerary recommendations for 3 major cities.
