3AM Vibes, 2021
A personal project inspired by a bout of insomnia in the winter of 2021. I used footage of myself and basic motion graphics to describe the state of mind I felt in the early hours of the morning, and experimented with rotoscoping to create the disembodied pants.

Coercive Control during COVID-19: New Tactics, 2020
A video explaining how abusers can exploit the 2020 pandemic to exert control over household members. This video was created while I worked at the Battered Women’s Justice Project in Minneapolis, and has been widely used by organizations working to end domestic violence. The original upload has earned over 6,500 views.
