Initial development on Apollo and the Earthrise. Apollo's orientation was later corrected to be scientifically correct.

Early sketches of the DART mission explosion. The initial direction was more stylized, but was pulled back due to client needs.

Visual development work on Griffith Observatory's contribution to the Getty PST program, Pacific Standard Universe (PSU). Of all of the shots in the space sequence, the Earthrise moment and DART shot were my favorite to work on. I am fortunate enough to have the experience to complete every aspect of these two shots, from initial concept to asset creation (with exception of Apollo) to animation, and finally compositing.
