    It is just the way I am. I don't just go through the motions. I give my very best to every project. I believe in over-delivering. This quality is what has set me apart as a designer and editor. I strive to understand your problem first, and I'll work hard on your solution. I am a seasoned pro with over 15 years of experience as a motion designer and editor. I’ve worked with ad agencies, political campaigns, production companies, global nonprofits, and Fortune 500 brands. Some projects are fast-turnaround edits using talking heads and b-roll, like the educational piece I created for Save the Children Action Network. Others are more design-heavy — like the end-of-year wrap-up I built for a pharmaceutical company, or the 20-minute animated projection I created for Stravinsky’s Les Noces, performed live with the San Francisco Symphony and Esa-Pekka Salonen. I’ve jumped into half-finished projects, built pieces entirely from scratch, and shaped creative direction when there wasn’t much to go on. I'm flexible in how I work — just tell me what you need, and I’ll meet you there. If you're looking for someone who takes your work seriously and delivers with clarity, rhythm, and care, I’d love to hear what you're working on.

    I am an aspiring animator who specializes in 2D Animation and post-production editing. I have experience in video editing and digital art. My Broadcast Journalism background has allowed me to take my interest in creative/storytelling media and apply it to my current freelance work. I believe that every piece of art has a story and a background to tell, ultimately connecting people. Having always been interested in the arts, I dabble in digital and traditional drawing, videography, choreographed dancing, and other creative outlets I can get my hands on. I hope to continue pursuing my career aspirations as a self-established artist and to help your interests come to life as well.
