WS PEHSU Health Education Social Media Videos
I was honored to work on some social media videos for the Western States Pediatric Environmental Health Specialy Unit. I created an original stop motion animation educational/social media video highlighting the benefits of proper nutrition and risks of pesticides, and solvents/VOCs in both English and Spanish. I was lucky enough to work with Nick Smerkanich for the voice acting Direction and the amazingMelissaRivera performed the voice acting for the Spanish version. Check out the important pediatric environmental health work that WS PEHSU does at wspehsu.ucsf.edu.
My Art at Kaiser, Glendale
I've always thought my paper art would be a great addition in a pediatric hospital setting so I was thrilled when I got a commission from Brittney Thompson of J.D. Thompson & Associates Fine Art Consulting for 5 paper art pieces for the pediatric waiting room of Kaiser, Glendale. Can't wait to see them installed!
