2020-21 Sports Emmy Award - Outstanding Live Sports Special: 2020 NBA All-Star Game on TNT

As the Graphics Producer and Associate Producer for the NBA All-Star Game, I was responsible for managing all visual storytelling elements throughout the broadcast. This involved overseeing the design, execution, and real-time operation of key on-screen graphics, including the scorebug, fullscreen visuals, and lower-thirds.

Working closely with producers and on-air talent, I translated storytelling elements into compelling visual concepts, ensuring that key narratives were effectively communicated to the audience. Additionally, I conducted in-depth research on players and team storylines to create engaging graphics that enhanced the viewer experience. My role required precision, creativity, and the ability to deliver high-quality visuals in a fast-paced, live production environment.
