SAMPLE WORK PORTFOLIO
Welcome to my portfolio of work. Here, you can take a deep dive into some of my past projects that align with the services outlined in my proposal. Take your time to look around and please let me know if there is anything further that I can provide for you.
I have always been drawn to the art of storytelling and its ability to give life to an experience long after the moment ends. The following are a few styles of stories that I feel could be a good fit for Riverbed’s upcoming virtual event.
ANIMATION: I am a huge fan of telling stories in a variety of different formats and bringing a story to life using animation is always a big hit with audiences.
CAFE 365: This is a great example of how a simple question, and some creative graphics, can be turned into an entertaining short film.
FAVORITE QUOTE: This was the opener for a previous SKO event I produced that tied together the clients two themes of “Time to Attack” and “Film Festival”.
SURVIVOR: I hosted a Survivor (TV show) themed event in Boston back in 2024 and asked attendees who their all-time favorite contestant was from the show. As a surprise ending, we got celebrity contestant Rob Mariano to do a cameo and give a shout out to the event host.
UNIQUE PRODUCT STORY: Storytelling is a powerful way to take a complex idea—like Kubernetes—and turn it into a digestible story that resonates with a broader audience. It helps simplify the technical, making it easier for people to connect, understand, and remember.
CUSTOMER STORY: Make customer stories come to life through the power of visual storytelling.
I’ve always been fascinated by the power of gamification and its unique ability to turn passive experiences into active, memorable moments. Below are a few trivia concepts that I believe could be a strong fit for Riverbed’s upcoming virtual SKO event.
LEADERSHIP EYE SPY: For this trivia game I was tasked with creating a unique eye spy style game that prominently featured the company’s leadership team. After viewing the film, I asked the audience the question listed below.
Featured Question: How many times does the CEO appear in a pizza costume?
LISTEN UP: In this trivia game, the task is to count the total number of times someone says the word “Water Polo”. This type of trivia game is a lot of fun and can be designed using just about any word or combination of words.
Featured Question: How many times does someone say the words “Water Polo”?
MOVIE MASH-UP: This fan favorite game requires participants to watch a mash-up of movies about a specific topic. Once completed, they will need to answer a question about what they just saw.
Featured Question: What movie was not featured?
Thank You for taking the time to review my portfolio of sample work. I am hopeful that we can work together on the upcoming Riverbed SKO event and I look forward to connecting with you soon to discuss the next steps.
