EMC goes to fire school
United Way theme for EMC Insurance
I designed the new theme for our United Way charity fundraiser at EMC Insurance. I also made some zoom backgrounds since it was a virtual event this year. We raised more than $300,000 for United Way of Central Iowa!
Photoshoot for EMC Insurance's Circuit magazine
This month’s edition of EMC Insurance’s Circuit magazine features some of my photography. The cover designed by Holly Illg features my photo of the Shattered Silence sculpture. The table of contents page features my photo of one of Keith Haring’s sculptures in the Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines, Iowa.
The feature story uses a photo of Lonnie Dafney taken by my coworker Steve McTee.
Here is an earlier test shot before it hit golden hour along with some of the sculpture shots I edited.

Fire School at Urbandale Fire Department
I work as a designer and photographer for EMC Insurance and I just got back from a really fun photo shoot with the Urbandale Fire Department. The EMC Reinsurance department brings some brokers to an evening of fire school. They suited up, sprayed fire hoses, tested fire extinguishers and saved rescue mannequins from a “burning” test building.
EMC Insurance Photography
Here are some recent photos from events at the EMC Insurance Corporate Office in Des Moines, Iowa.
Examples of my work at EMC Insurance
Here some some examples of my projects at my new job with EMC Insurance. I have had a variety of work to do like posters, brochures, web graphics and animated videos. I worked on a video shoot for a commercial and made some animated pieces to use for the internal video. So far it's been exciting and I am pretty proud of what I have accomplished and learned so far.
My first animated video for EMC Insurance
Check out the EMC Insurance holiday video that I designed and animated. I pulled the star and the color palette from their holiday card and edited some Des Moines skyline illustrations. I drew the EMC Tower myself. This is my first video using After Effects and one of my first projects at my new job at EMC. I still am learning how to do easing in an efficient way, but I had a lot of fun with the star/snow effects and I am pretty happy with it.
Our holiday wish to you: Celebrate the magic, beauty and wonder of the holiday season.
