Oriole Park @ Camden Yards
Baltimore, MD
2026
Acting as the Baltimore Orioles' motion designer, my work primarily lives within our in-game show at Camden Yards. 2026 is my second season with the team, which came with a new jumbotron and ribbon LEDs to design for after an offseason of construction. This meant creating a range of triggers, fan cams, event takeovers, and logo loops, as well as supporting our Video, Social, and Marketing teams.
Themed takeovers are a large part of the job, giving special events unique identities and elevating the fan experience.
We also launched City Connect 2.0 this year, built around the concept "From the Stoop to the Yard." I had the opportunity to work alongside Colosseum to build out our alternate Friday night show. The look of the show highlights the connection between the city of Baltimore and Oriole Park, utilizing a vintage off-white, Camden green, as well as textures and landmarks that exist throughout the city and the park. I utilized photos I took around the city and introduced them as assets in the package. You can see my motion tests beside some examples of the final work, led by Mark Nelson on Colosseum's side.
