- Looking to bring your brand or story to life through motion?
- Starting a new project and want someone who can turn ideas into great visuals?
- Or maybe you just need an extra set of experienced hands on a project?
Good motion design comes down to timing, personality, and clarity, all working together so an idea actually lands.
There's a lot that goes into work that lands well: storyboarding, illustration, animation, sound design, and polish, and making it feel effortless takes real experience.
With a Bachelor's Degree in Animation and Visual Effects, 12+ years of cinematic experience, and time spent as a Lead Creative Director, I bring a solid mix of 2D motion design skill and deep 3D know-how for any project.
With proficiency in After Effects/Cavalry, Illustrator/Affinity, Blender/DaVinci, and generative AI tools like ComfyUI for concepting and exploration, I'm just as comfortable developing 2D designs as I am jumping into anything 3D where needed.
If you're looking for quality, speed, and great communication, don't hesitate to reach out! I'm available weekdays, Monday through Friday, so weekends are set aside to recharge.
