In the Apple TV+ original series, Super League: The War for Football, the high stakes battle to create a new European super-league is documented from start to its explosive finish. We designed the four-part series to clarify the drama that threatened to upend the future of European football.

I animated the title sequence, working closely with Josh Norton and Mark Thompson to develop a visual language that highlights the complex interconnectedness of corrupt money in European football. Animators Brian Landisman and Nick Woythayler worked tirelessly on the graphic language throughout the entire series.

I am grateful for the incredible friendship, hard work, creativity and collaboration that led to our first Emmy!
