Since 2020, I have contributed to the Milken Institute's annual Global Conference, enhancing event design through impactful digital design, motion graphics, and video production.
I was hired to animate the MI logo sting for conference videos, and the animation has since become embedded in the Milken Institute's brand and is widely used and recognized as the primary logo animation. I began by preparing and presenting four storyboard concepts that visually explain the animations, frame-by-frame.

The MI team chose Storyboard 3, and I worked in After Effects to produce the final animation.

2021 Global Conference
The Milken Institute greeted its 2021 Global Conference attendees with a series of nine factoid videos that I produced. These videos looped continuously on large screens throughout the venue. The factoids highlighted the impact of social crises, economic dislocation, or global pandemics, offering solutions to inform our actions.
The 2021 Global Conference took place at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
2022 Global Conference
I used After Effects to produce Daily Welcome Animations for the Milken Institute's social platforms to inform conference attendees of the daily speakers.
2023 Global Conference
I produced the 2023 Global Conference branded animation, starting with storyboarded concepts and then moving into After Effects for the final animation. I incorporated the animation into the CEO welcome video which I edited from start to finish (full video).
The MI team chose Option 1.
