MONEY IN THE BANK

I joined as art director from midway through the color phase, and saw it through to release. The challenge: a leadership change brought these games under my art direction after a team had already taken the art beyond concept in a flat cartoony style with light muted colors and much empty space. I reset expectations for the team with positivity, leading them through a pivot to the fully-saturated, dimensional, rich heavy-gold art direction that works so well for Konami, and bulked up the presence of the persistent bank and pigs on coin piles. All on the team are proud of the outcome - including a 7+ month run on Eilers (so far) and an Eilers 2026 award nomination!
