Marriott _ Mr. Guaran-T
My time at McGarryBowen Chicago was marked by steering premium creative content, including a flagship Marriott campaign featuring pop-culture legend Mr. T in the title role of 'Mr. Guaran-T.'

The project comprised a suite of engaging vignettes showcasing the character's signature blend of humor and life advice.

Stepping into the dual roles of Co-Director and Director of Photography, I had the privilege of directing the cultural icon while shaping the visual identity of the entire series.
