I designed and animated this year’s show package for Holiday Baking Championship on Food Network. This holiday favorite returns with a visual theme of Main Street USA. Catch this show to see my graphics every Monday on Food Network.🎄
It’s almost Halloween! 🎃 Come take a peek behind the scenes as I walk through the creative process for these Halloween Baking Championship promo graphics for Food Network. From brainstorming rough ideas to the final concept, I’m sharing how it all came together. Happy Halloween, and watch out for ghosts! Boo!!! 👻
From idea to on-air! Here’s how a concept I pitched for Food Network turned into the final graphics you’ll see on screen. It all starts with a conversation about ideas inspired by this season’s themes.
If you’re a Halloween Baking Championship fan, I had the fun job of creating all the show graphics for this season of the popular Food Network series!
This year’s theme was inspired by a spooky old Victorian house. After pitching a few concepts for the show open, the team loved the idea of a camera flying through a hallway of flickering candles, ending on a dramatic reveal of the show’s logo on the wall. That eerie, atmospheric vibe became the foundation for the entire show package, tying everything together visually.
There are still a few weeks left in the season, so I hope you get a chance to tune in and spot my graphics in action!
Every final graphic you see on-air started as a concept that went through discussions, revisions, and final approval before a team of creatives brought it to life on set. These spooky graphic ideas I came up with are airing all October on Food Network. If you’re watching, I hope you catch them!
Check out my new Halloween concept, design, and animation work for Food Network showing until October 16th in NYC at 230 Park Ave (on 19th St). Fun fact: Food Network Halloween projects start in March before the first signs of spring even start peeking through the cold!
I was tasked with creating an awards theme graphic to be displayed across multiple screens during an onstage ceremony. While exploring design directions, I played with everything from subtle nods to the company’s branding to fully branded visual treatments.
After several rounds of concepts and client feedback, these are my top five favorites.
Did the client pick your favorite?
What happens when a cooking competition show meets the energy of the Final Four? You get Tournament of Champions — one of Food Network’s highest-rated shows, hosted by the one and only Guy Fieri.
This promo spot was all about bringing that March Madness intensity to the world of food. I designed and animated graphics that channeled a high-stakes, sporty vibe — complete with rotoscoping, compositing, and 2.5D animation in After Effects.
Collaborating with editors, producers, and art directors we crafted something bold, energetic, and true to the Tournament of Champions brand. Here’s a look at some of the final graphics and work-in-progress shots.

As part of the Tournament of Champions 360 campaign, I worked on extending the show’s key art into dynamic video billboard concepts displayed across eight 3-story-tall screens.
The project involved photo masking, compositing, and staying true to the original campaign. We featured Guy Fieri and the Randomizer up front, while giving ALL contestants equal screen time on the back — no spoilers!
Loved the challenge of translating still design into motion while keeping the brand and storytelling consistent.

Earlier this year, just ahead of the Super Bowl, I got to work on a fun Food Network promo for Guy Fieri’s Tournament of Champions. The concept tapped into the Puppy Bowl buzz happening on a sister network. I handled keying, compositing, and color correction to help bring those scene-stealing dogs into the 360 campaign branding of Tournament of Champions. The actual Puppy Bowl dogs were shot in studio for this spot (ugghh, I wish I could have been on set that day!).
Always grateful for the projects I work on for Food Network and for Tournament of Champions.
