PHXDW — Orbit Opening Titles
Role: Animation Director
This year I had the honor of serving as Animation Director for the largest design event in Arizona — Phoenix Design Week 2026. Centered around this year's theme, "ORBIT," I brought the brand and illustration system to life through motion, shaping the opening title sequence that set the tone for the entire conference and reflected the creative spirit of our community.
Phoenix Design Week isn’t just a two-day conference — it’s a week-long celebration of creativity, with events across Phoenix and Tucson. Each year, hundreds of designers, thinkers, writers, photographers, and makers enter one another’s orbit to celebrate the relationships, intersections, and creative forces that surround the work and give it meaning. Together, we create gravity by design.
Phoenix Design Week (PHXDW) is a week-long celebration of design organized by AIGA Arizona to unite our state’s design community and provide a forum for sharing best practices, gaining fresh inspiration, and showcasing exceptional work.
