A world of ice to raise money for the ice caps
APPLE X NATURE CONSERVANCY

I worked with the world’s biggest tech company and America’s largest environmental nonprofit, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), to make a music video to fight climate change. We pitched Apple the concept of creating a love story set in a world of ice to raise money for the ice caps in an Apple Music-exclusive video. They greenlit the project, which we used to raise thousands for TNC.
The story in the video is a metaphor for climate change. In it, two lovers made of ice are literally frozen in time, just out of reach from each other. Unable to reunite, they both begin to slowly melt away. The idea I developed was to humanize the threat of the ice caps melting by creating a surreal, heartfelt story about humans made of ice -- to show that if glaciers disappear, so do we.

The First Crypto.com Earth Day NFT DROP
We created one of the first-ever Earth Day NFT drops to raise money to fight global warming. After the above video premiered on Apple Music, we created a NFT collection with Crypto.com by making additional visuals set in the same world with new original music from Janelle Kroll. You can see some of those pieces below. It was the first-ever Earth Day NFT collection on Crypto.com, a platform we partnered with because of the low carbon impact of its blockchain. We raised one round of funds to donate to climate non-profits with the initial music video, and this NFT drop allowed us to raise a second. This time, we donated the proceeds to Seed Evolution, who used the funds to plant trees in South America.
