From concept to delivery, collaborating with industry leading partners on shaping the narrative of our sport —
A quote that I've always held near and dear throughout the VALORANT Esports journey comes from my late design professor:
"You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit!"
— Lanny Sommese
It helped us recognize the importance of strong foundational creative that can serve everything from the films on this page, to our partners in broadcast, events, merch, social, and the esports orgs themselves.

About this Archive
My work at Riot Games began with two small films for Worlds 2020, and ballooned into the creative direction for an entire esport. After hundreds of films, I thought it'd be nice to create an archive to catalogue as much of it as I can to look back on.
That said, I'm not strictly a film / campaign creative. Pre-Riot, my work was predominantly experiential digital and product design. Feel free to check out the full scope of my work at the following link.
