Sun Girl

Sun Girl is a music video commissioned by Julia Holter for her single “Sun Girl,” released through Domino Records. The concept centers on a girl who avoids the sun despite its benefits, reflecting the tension between what is good for us and what feels most familiar. At the time, Julia was also a new mother and wanted a video to dedicate to her daughter.

Lotus Dream

Lotus Dream is my thesis film, developed during my MFA in Animation and Digital Arts at USC. It is a non-narrative, meditative piece centered on the rhythm of a lotus’s everyday cycle. Each morning, the lotus rises from the water, and each evening, it retreats back beneath the surface. I became interested in imagining a daydream that breaks from this quiet repetition. Rather than telling a linear story, the film unfolds as a dream sequence guided by mood, music, and atmosphere. I worked closely with composer Casey Mattson to create a sense of stillness and wonder.

Wipeout

Wipeout is a 2.5D film in progress about two robots racing to the finish line. Inspired in part by the myth of Sisyphus, it is a lighthearted story about an underdog who keeps going even when the odds are stacked against them. Visually influenced by Tadanori Yokoo and Redline, the film features high-contrast graphics and psychedelic color, brought to life through Arnold’s toon shaders.
