I have over a decade of experience as a designer, animator, and art director in New York City. While I’ve spent most of that time freelancing, I’ve also worked in-house with startups, major brands, newsrooms, and agencies across a range of industries. Selected teams/clients include: Adobe, Intuit, Amazon, Daily Harvest, Walmart, Paramount, Freshly, L’oréal, and In-Vision.

My website is extremely vast and probably a little overwhelming. I’ve worn many hats and done a lot. Hopefully this list is a good starting point for you.

I love talking about this work. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me an email: hello@shaumbe.com

Home planet graphics package

Graphics package for Home Planet’s sketch comedy pilot.

This was a fun project to lead from start to finish. Clear communication and an efficient workflow meant we could focus on making the strongest work possible instead of getting bogged down in revisions. It was a chance to fully utilize my skills across design, illustration, animation, and art direction, and the final result felt like a true collaboration where everyone was excited about the outcome.

adobe social content

Content for Adobe’s main social channels.

Creating work for a huge client at the speed of social means quick turnarounds and constant collaboration were just part of the process. I worked closely with strategists to turn ideas into content the client was excited about by balancing craft with fast-paced production.

Momofuku noodles

Animated typography for Momofuku.

This project had a pretty small scope, but it was a fun challenge to see how much personality I could bring to it through motion alone. Animated typography let me give the Momofuku brand a playful, energetic feel without adding anything extra. It was a good reminder that even simple deliverables can have a lot of character when the motion is doing the storytelling.

the wall street journal

Spot animations, explainer videos, and long form editorial/narrative motion graphics pieces for the Wall Street Journal.

My time at WSJ was focused on using motion design to make complex stories more engaging and accessible. A big part of the work was finding visual metaphors and semiotic solutions that could quickly communicate ideas and support the editorial narrative. It was all about combining storytelling, design, and animation in service of helping viewers better understand the subject matter.

stickers for milk makeup

Instagram stickers for Milk Makeup.

My work on these was a great example of how collaboration across disciplines can make the work stronger. I partnered with a 3D artist and used my design and art direction skills to communicate ideas and facilitate a workflow that combined both of our strengths and minimized our weaknesses. I love being able to bridge the skillsets of disparate artists, and the final result often becomes more than what any one person could create on their own.

The Brandon Jamel Show

Graphics package and branding for The Brandon Jamel Show.

This was an awesome opportunity to experiment with analogue video tools and bring a more tactile, unpredictable quality into the work. The client wanted something that felt like old-school daytime TV so I figured it’d be the perfect opportunity to run digital files through a VCR to capture authentic analogue distortion and artifacts that couldn’t be perfectly replicated. Then I built a flexible, templatized After Effects file that preserved those unique experimental elements while still allowing the team to easily edit and adapt the content moving forward.

l’oréal science

Spot animations for L’oréal product explainer videos.

For L’Oréal, I created “science” animations that translated complex product benefits into engaging visual stories. I explored textural, abstract approaches to show how products work, and used motion, material, and visual metaphor to make scientific concepts feel more intuitive and compelling.
