Google Doodle “Luther Vandross 70th Birthday tribute”

I had the opportunity to collaborate with the Google Doodle team for this tribute to the one and only Luther Vandross. I developed the story, created the designs, and animated all of the shots. I wanted to make something that felt as lively and energetic as the iconic song “Never Too Much”
