From 2011 through 2016 and again from 2017 through 2019, I worked at KXAN, the Nexstar-owned NBC affiliate in Austin, Texas.

I worked diligently to build and execute daily newscast still and motion graphics. This involved creating visually captivating graphics that enhanced the overall presentation of the news, ensuring a polished and professional look. With careful attention to detail, I produced captivating animated opens and graphics for programming and promos, adding a dynamic touch to the on-air content.

I eventually rose to the position of lead artist/art director. With this role came a multitude of responsibilities, as I not only managed a dedicated staff of two talented individuals but also took on the crucial task of shaping and defining the graphical look of the station. Together with my team, I oversaw the entire design process, ensuring that our work was not only visually striking but also aligned with the station’s objectives and resonated with the viewers.

The time I spent at KXAN was highlighted by an extraordinary achievement—a consistent number one position in the local television ratings. This remarkable feat was a testament to the collective talent, dedication, and unwavering passion of our team, as well as the strong support and engagement of our local community. By continuously delivering exceptional “In-Depth, Investigative” content, staying abreast of industry trends, and nurturing a connection with our viewers, we solidified our position as the preferred choice for local news.
