Making Life Multiplanetary

I had the opportunity to contribute a range of visual work for the SpaceX Mars presentation led by Elon Musk, helping bring key systems and concepts to life. My work included the propellant transfer animation, ship catch animation, Pad 2 sequence, V3 full stack animation, and multiple orbit explainers that helped visualize complex orbital mechanics in a clear and engaging way.

Across these pieces, the goal was to balance technical accuracy with cinematic storytelling, making highly complex ideas feel intuitive and exciting for a broad audience. The presentation and supporting visuals have collectively reached over 50 million views, contributing to how SpaceX communicates its vision for making life multiplanetary.
