Diamond Heist, Defined by Design
A college project reimagining Tarantino’s cult classic through symbolism and shape.
This minimalist Reservoir Dogs poster was created as part of a college design project, allowing me to explore symbolic storytelling and visual reduction. I chose this film because it’s one of my favorite Quentin Tarantino movies and I wanted to reimagine it through a bold, graphic lens.
The diamond-shaped tie represents the six main characters. Mr. White, Orange, Blonde, Pink, Blue, and Brown. While the red and blue tips above them hint at the hidden police presence within the crew. The entire suit is shaped like a diamond to reinforce the theme of the diamond heist, and the inclusion of Wayfarer sunglasses pays homage to the characters’ iconic style.
For the background, I used a stained paper texture inspired by the tan tones seen in some original Reservoir Dogs posters. The credit text is set in the BEE typeface, which mimics the look of authentic movie billing blocks. This piece is both a tribute to the film and an exercise in minimalist storytelling, blending classic cinema with modern design technique.
An Emotional Journey in Light, Shadow, & Sound.
This piece, titled “Eclipse,” is a fully self-produced animation created by Bryan of Sarge Studios. Every element from the visual animation and special effects to the atmospheric sound design was crafted from scratch. The video blends emotional impact with cinematic pacing, combining layered motion graphics, symbolic imagery, and custom audio for a powerful and immersive experience. It showcases not only technical versatility in After Effects and VFX magic, but also storytelling through sound and visual rhythm.

The Motion That Sparked Everything
This animation was born under moonlight. crafted during my college internship for a local coffee shop whose emblem was a moth, ever drawn to the glow. A swarm of luminous moths drifts through the darkness, gently assembling into a single mark of transformation and stillness: a moth poised over the moon. Though the business has since rebranded, this piece still lives as a sacred first in my creative path.
It was my first-ever logo animation. The very moment motion design cast its spell on me. The client offered payment, but I chose to donate my time and energy, guided by the excitement of learning and the joy of creation. This project was more than an assignment; it was an offering, a calling, and the spark that lit the fire for everything I’ve built since.
Infused with breath, sound, and light. This is energy in motion.
This 3D logo animation was designed to visually express the energetic flow and identity of Reiki-Man.com A unique fusion of mysticism and modern design. Every motion was timed with care, and the custom soundscape was created entirely by Bryan Lonergan using layered throat singing to evoke vibrational depth and spiritual resonance.
The result is a piece that not only looks cinematic but feels alive. Bridging energy healing and digital motion design in a powerful, personal way.

Awakening in Motion
From logo design to volcanic 3D animation. An energetic awakening in motion.
This dynamic piece began with a bold vision. I designed the Shake n’ Wake logo to symbolize spiritual awakening, transformation, and metaphysical energy using a crescent moon, sacred spiral, and erupting volcano. From there, I brought the brand to life through a cinematic 3D logo animation, originally created as an intro for a podcast project.
The animation features the logo erupting from a volcano, its surface shimmering with animated textures and glowing with a backlit aura. Every motion was timed to match a client-selected song, and the overall sequence was crafted to feel powerful, mystical, and transformative.
Although the podcast never launched, the client was thrilled with the result. This project stands as a complete expression of my process. From logo design and branding to 3D animation, motion graphics, and audio sync.
