Amazon Music x NBA


Group: Amazon Music
Role: Creative Director, Motion Designer


Amazon Music partnered with the NBA and Prime Video to create an exclusive, intimate, pre-recorded live performance series that airs inside the NBA Nightcap Post Game Show on Prime Video, filmed on the set of Prime Video’s NBA studio in Culver City, CA. Designed to give artists the opportunity to showcase their latest work, each episode offers a unique experience where artists perform two songs live to tape. 

We defined the visual concept and design system, and executed it across instream, court signage, OOH, social, wild, and onsite assets.

Amazon Music Breakthrough


Group: Amazon Music
Role: Creative Director, Designer


Breakthrough is a program that helps up-and-coming artists from all genres build their careers by increasing exposure and building fans. A big part of building buzz for new artists is creating out-of-home placements, activations, listening parties, and murals. This work represents a selection of pieces I either art directed in collaboration with illustrators and painters, or personally designed. 




Brooklyn Mural
Amazon Music has a hand-painted mural wall in Brooklyn, NY that is updated every month or two, each time featuring a new Breakthrough artist or collection of artists. This wall is a bespoke piece of art that is used to build artist buzz in an organic way.

Amazon Music Festival Shop


Group: Amazon Music
Role: Art Director, Designer


Merch is such a huge part of the festival experience, so we created a new festival shop geared specifically towards show-bound music fans. The biggest creative lift was defining a style guide and concept for the site photography, and executing an on and off-model shoot showcasing five different genres. The overarching concept was fashion-forward desert-themed, using an LED backdrop and minimal propping for a rich, stylized, reality-bending, editorial aesthetic. 


Photography
This is a selection of photos from the shoot, showcasing merch across five looks (denim, moto boho, raver, sporty chic, western). 





Landing Page
Photography was rolled into the festival shop landing page and Amazon homepage site experiences. 



Social
This example was a stop motion ad created for Pinterest and Instagram, and others were created as well featuring the primary photography.

Amazon Music partners with artists and music festivals around the world to exclusively stream live music events via Prime and Twitch as a way to share these experiences with the masses.

The examples shown on this page represent a small sampling of the creative we are responsible for.

It is a multi-genre cultural event that celebrates rock, pop, ska, punk, reggae, electronic, hip-hop, and more featuring established and emerging talent across multiple stages. For 2026, we created the trailers, in-stream assets, and all on and offsite marketing assets.
