As the Creative Director for "Watching Frank," a documentary about writer Gay Talese, my aim was to merge a 60's and 70's aesthetic with modern editorial styling. The film offers an intimate glimpse into Talese's life, with exclusive interviews, rare notes, and untold stories.

I blended vintage visual elements with contemporary design to capture the essence of the era while infusing it with a fresh perspective. The result was a visual language that paid homage to the past while resonating with modern audiences. This approach not only captured Talese's life journey but also emphasized his lasting influence.
