I have a BA in Economics and a Masters in International Development and have always accepted highly diverse work contracts. I have worked mostly in environmental conservation at the community and government level, blending conservation with economic development for the most vulnerable populations. I also have extensive experience teaching. I am highly passionate about both formal and informal education. I have 8 years of teaching experience with preschool, elementary, high school students as well as adults in France, Costa Rica, Liberia, the U.S., the Philippines and Turkey. My teaching experience is mostly with the International Baccalaureate system, focusing on promoting critical thinking and creative problem solving to tackle the most pressing global issues. I have contributed to and created my own curriculum to meet student and community needs with an emphasis on environmental conservation and critical thinking. My specialty in the classroom is focusing on making learning fun and fostering student curiosity. I also love to help students express their feelings in a way that promotes healthy communication as a means to develop into kind and caring citizens. I have always taken work contracts that utilize my skills as well as help me develop professionally and personally. My highly varied work experience has helped me effortlessly learn new skills and excel in even the most challenging work roles.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜 𝗮𝗺. I am a career technology animator. I make people understand and be excited about your technology, your products, and your processes. I have produced nearly 1,500 animated videos over 11 years, spanning dozens of industries and hundreds of clients. My work was featured in Popular Mechanics, on Bloomberg, and across professional publications, trade shows, and corporate communications. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼. • 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 • 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 • 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 • 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 • 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 And about 1,500 more. 𝗙𝗔𝗤 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀? 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀. There is no such thing in nature as “an animation.” There isn’t even such a basic thing as “a pen.” We all know what’s “a pen,” but a $1 Bic pen and the Fulgor Nocturnus by Tibaldi, solid at auction for $8,000,000, are different in every way. They both “write”, but one is a disposable consumable and the other is a work of art, status, history, meaning, and craftsmanship. It's the same with anything, including animation. I have produced nearly 1,500 separate, distinct animations for businesses as large as Meta (Facebook). I have worked on hundreds upon hundreds of different technologies, developing how to tell their stories, present the products and understand the audiences correctly in the first place. An animation technician with 50 animations under his belt without any of this experience is incomparable. He is also “an animator” – but at the same time, our skills, capabilities, and your ultimate results will be completely different. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁? In the thousands, but beyond that – it depends on countless unknown variables. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲? Producing custom animation for you will take work from both parties: from the animator, and from you. At the barest minimum, you will have to explain what you need, provide relevant information, and approve drafts and the final work. How long will that take you to do is an unknown. The second part is how long it will take the animator to do the work in between those events. It’s fair to estimate 2-6 weeks for most projects. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱? 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲? 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? This goes back to “there is no such thing as a pen.” You can hire a real professional, or you can hire an honest technician, or you can hire a fake-it-till-you-make-it showoff. This is the order of quality of results, and the descending order of autonomy. The professional can do the work better than you. The honest technician will need you to direct most things. The showoff will be a circus at your expense. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹? Documented history. Over 300 projects on Upwork alone, with real, documented reviews through the Upwork platform. Have a read. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 $𝟲𝟬𝟬 – 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. 𝗜𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁? This is a difference in approach, not just in skill. The math doesn’t lie. If you are paying, say, $600 for unlimited revisions, and some guy spends five weeks full time doing all of that activity, that’s $600/200 hours, and that’s not counting overhead. That is literally the kind of guy who is doing your work. Don't expect much. 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. Alabama Power, Beechcraft, BORK, Cargill, City of Melbourne, Dyson, E2 Optics, Eddy Pump Corporation, Extreme Networks, FABTECH, Freund-Vector, Hines, MUZO Emeralds, NASA (NIAC), RAZER, Subzero Scientific, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Toyota, Wiese, Welker, and many more. 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀. If you have a product, technology or process that you need people to see, understand and be excited about, I am uniquely qualified to help. I specialize in explaining technology and technological products and processes. Please either: • Invite me to your project on Upwork, or • Hire me on Upwork, or • Send me a message on Upwork. I respond as soon as I see your messages, which is often within 10 minutes.

Hello! I am a 3D artist here on Upwork ready to make your concepts and ideas pop! I specialize in 3D modeling and environment design using updated modern programs such as; Blender, Unreal Engine 5, Maya, Adobe Substance Painter, and Photoshop where needed. I now have several paid works and happy clients under my belt through Upwork and elsewhere. I will give my utmost to ensure whatever project is assigned is completed to high standards and in a timely manner! My main focuses are hard surface modeling and environment design both of which are useful in tasks such as; product visualization, architectural visualization, 3D art pieces, and nature scenes. My specializations are also more under the surface regarding texturing, node tree mapping, UV unwrapping, retopology, and looping animations. Those skills prove especially helpful when making projects that are high-quality and customizable. While proficient in much of the Adobe Suite, I mostly just use it for the very powerful Substance Painter program, truly a useful program for giving texture and color to any 3D project. I can fill the role in your project, personal or team-based professional, with a quality guarantee! Brought up in project-based learning and team-oriented assignments, I can work with you through iterative design phases to make sure whatever project you have comes to life how you envision and nothing less! All of my previous work on this site has gone well and I hope to continue the streak! Schedule varies but aims to give you my undivided attention!
