I'm an on-the-box 2D/3D designer, animator, and art director with a background in cinema, live action storytelling, and games. My hands-on skills include After Effects, Cinema4D, Premiere, Octane, Redshift, particle systems, and more. I'm comfortable wearing many hats and taking on a wide range of responsibilities with different scales of teams. I've also mentored and developed internal talent and helped plan and structure productions and teams.
I have been fortunate to work for such varied and interesting clients as Netflix, Paramount, Sony, Yahoo, UniVision, Viacom, Cloud Imperium Games (Star Citizen), the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, ESL, USC, Harvard, Clemson University, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, LA County's Disaster Management Agency, and many more. Whether building a network graphics package, a broadcast or social spot, or helping to get the word out about matters of true life and death, I have been fortunate to work along with some great people and contribute to a wide variety of projects.
