In today's digital world, your online presence is key to connecting with your audience. Videos and animations are a quick way to grab someone's attention and get your information across, and my goal is to work with you to do just that!

I generally start by learning more about you as a client and your goals regarding the project. Whether you know exactly what you need or are looking for creative input, we will then work together each step of the way to make sure the final project exceeds your needs and expectations! What makes me different? -My background in video editing comes from many different angles, including corporations, athletic teams, small businesses, marketing agencies, documentary filmmakers, and personal projects. I use this background in conjunction with my formal education to create unique and eye-catching content! -I am a full-time freelancer, so my clients all have protected time in my schedule so I always meet your deadlines -Full transparency is key to me - I always discuss a full quote on costs before contracts begin -My work process is client-centered - I want my work to shine for YOU! Please let me know if you have any questions - I'd love to get to know you! :)

I make motion graphics that get to the point—and get results. With 10+ years of experience, I’ve created sharp, effective content for brands like Google, John Deere, Steele, and political campaigns across the country. I specialize in explainers, logo animation, political ads, sizzle reels, short-form documentaries, and live presentation visuals. Need voiceover? I offer a smart blend of real voice actors and advanced AI—male or female, any tone—so you get high-quality VO without the full studio cost. Perfect when budgets are tight but standards are high. I’m strongest in After Effects and Premiere, and proficient in Cinema 4D, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I also handle scripting, editing, and sound design with speed and precision. I respond fast, collaborate well, and prioritize projects that inform, persuade, or actually help people. Let’s make something that matters—and make it look great.
