Marie Claire Editorial Art Direction
Stop motion is one of those techniques that looks effortless and is anything but. For these two Marie Claire digital features, I art directed stop motion shoots that had to move fast without sacrificing craft — a CBD cocktail story and a holiday greeting card series, both built for digital publication. Working closely with photographers, set designers, and stylists, I shaped each shoot from concept to final layout, balancing the magazine's bold, fashion-forward aesthetic with the playful energy that stop motion demands.
