APPLE AIRPODS

Someday, directed by Spike Jonze, starring Pedro Pascal


Creative Director

Apple has long believed in music’s ability to re-shape our emotional landscape. In this film Pedro Pascal is engulfed in the solitude of winter, in the aftermath of a breakup. With AirPods 4, his world changes through the transformative power of music.

With choreography, the city pulses with synchronized movement, strangers become dancers who blend seamlessly into the otherworldly backdrop. All to show how music—along with thoughtful design and technology—can lift us into brighter days.

This global campaign set the internet on fire with 550M+ views. Produced by MJZ. Music + Post Squeak E. Clean.

Case Study

APPLE MUSIC

100 Best Albums


Creative Director

3D gold artifacts were crafted to represent each album on the 100 Best list. They paid homage to album elements only true fans could identify — references to album art, music videos or a significant lyric.

Through hand-painted murals in artists’ hometowns and custom digital assets, fans were provoked to decode the list of the 100 greatest albums of all time. Animation by MNFST.

A reimagining of Apple’s 2003 iPod Silhouettes, the campaign spanned TV, digital, Apple store takeovers, billboards across every corner of the globe, and its very own TikTok filter.

Film directed by Vania & Muggia.





VICE

VICELAND 
TV Channel Lauch, Identity System & Brand

Annie was the founding art director of VICELAND and instrumental to defining its visual style across marketing, photography, and animation. From 2016-2020, she led a talented team of designers, art directors and animators in countless campaigns, key art shoots, and title sequences.

As Creative Director of Brand, she led a team through global brand campaigns, brand guidelines and new business at the height of VICE’s success.






VICE BRAND CAMPAIGN

THINGS Voting Initiative


Art & Creative Direction

In the aftermath of the 2021 election, THINGS presented everyday objects — stripped of color and context — to represent the political issues that matter to young voters.

On mid-term voting day, VICE shut down all of its platforms, showing its willingness to sacrifice clicks for purpose, directly resulting in 2% of new voter registration.



APPLE IPHONE

iPhone 14 Global Launch: Big and Bigger


Creative Director

The global iPhone14 launch emphasized product size through simple, direct messaging and forced perspective in photography. The campaign included TV, digital and billboards across the world. Annie oversaw everything from art direction on set to retouching and international design guidelines.

2020 Brown & Black Presidential Forum

VICE

Weed Week


Art Direction

To spark buzz for VICELAND's Weed Week (think Shark Week but with weed), VICE filled storefronts in NYC and LA with buds, made OOH with paraphernalia that lit up at night, and cannabis-scented ATMs.

The multi-year campaign featured events, OOH, TV spots, and naturally, launching a joint into space.



VICE

VICELAND at the Women’s March


Art Direction & Creative Direction

VICELAND joined marches across the country to organzie and stand with young people. Protesters shared their stories, reading postcards to the White House aloud in a documentary special that won the 2017 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Form Non-fiction.
