My  name is Will Zabriskie and I  am a designer. I am a graphic designer with a thoughtful and versatile approach to visual communication, I focus on transforming ideas into clear, engaging, and meaningful designs. My work balances concept and craft, combining strong typographic sensibility, attention to detail, and an understanding of visual hierarchy across both print and digital media. With an interest in storytelling and user experience, I aim to create designs that are not only visually compelling but also purposeful and accessible. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to refinement, I approach each project as an opportunity to explore, problem-solve, and communicate with intention.

I am from Barrington, Rhode Island, and currently attend Virginia Tech University, where I am majoring in graphic design with a minor in advertising. I have a strong interest in movies, music, and painting, and I am especially focused right now on producing electronic music and learning animation.

DESCRIPTION

This project is a study of a monologue from the animated television show BoJack Horseman. I transformed a selected portion of the dialogue into a short video segment, using motion, pacing, and timing to more clearly communicate the character’s emotions and enhance the overall tone of the scene.


Through this process, I focused on how visual movement and rhythm could add meaning beyond the spoken words. Subtle transitions, shifts in speed, and intentional pauses were used to emphasize key moments in the dialogue and guide the viewer’s emotional response. By aligning these motion choices with the character’s inner state, the video segment becomes a more immersive and expressive interpretation of the original scene.
