Does your construction business have some project management issues? Are you being asked to do extra work--for free--stuff you never included in your bid? I can help you. Are you revising and updating your website and need additional, new content, so that your business gets noticed--because it's finally being described fully and properly? I can help you. Have you been thinking about how great it would be to have some videos highlighting your company, but you really don't want to go on camera--you need a spokesperson? I can help you with that, too! Searching for a mature male American voice, able to show authority, be a storyteller, persuasive or conversational for your project? Look no further! I can provide these voice styles for you. USA born and California raised, English is my first language, and the written word is my second, so I write much of what I perform or share as a public speaker. As the voice, creator, writer and host of the Brick and Block Podcast, there are many examples of my work. I enjoy what I do as a storyteller or other public speaker in diverse topics ranging from construction to Biblical history, so I've been doing just that for well over 10 years. My background as a project manager allows me to show authority in business and commercial voiceovers, but my storytelling experience enables the conversational and expressive tone so important to making a point these days. Background Experience: Audio always recorded on professional equipment & edited with current software 20+ years in construction project management 9+ years as director of marketing for several companies 20+ years as storyteller & public speaker 15+ years as magazine columnist I am up-to-date on marketing and business technology, from website development to pay-per-click advertising on Google Ads to support local businesses. I would really like to discuss further your project needs and how we can work together to produce that best quality audio you're looking for. Contact me and you won't be disappointed.

I am both a designer and an engineer with more than 14 years of experience in the field of industrial design. I have experience in soft goods such as bags, apparel, footwear, fitness and also hard goods such as tabletop and home goods. I'm a pro in Illustrator and Photoshop as well as 3D design in Rhino. I am able to translate designs into patterns for manufacturing and also do quite a lot of work with 3D printing prototypes. If you need to find a manufacturer to create your designs, I can create a tech pack that you can share with any factory to request a sample and I can also create revisions from samples that you have received from your factory. I have done some sample sewing and sourcing but I find it is more cost effective for you to use a sample room overseas and an overseas sourcing agent. My strength as a designer is in my ability ideate solutions that many people might not think of through user research. I also am able to ideate in 3D which gives me an edge over some industrial or soft goods designers who work exclusively in Illustrator and translate their ideas only through 2D. The majority of my clients prefer to hire me in 5 hour max increments per week and the bulk of my projects can be completed within 1-3 weeks. I send screenshots and updates of work throughout the process to save you time and money. I can do introduction calls for 15 min consultations if you would like to learn more about me or tell me about your project needs. JSS score - it vacillates and often goes down right after it has gone up because high JSS leads to more visibility and more hires, however people tend to hire in a rush when they see high JSS scores and sometimes clients don't come back or do not give feedback on anything they do not like. I prefer to make sure clients are happy with everything and if not I will work with you to make sure you are happy. I try not to focus too much on it but I will definitely ask you for a review to help out my JSS if you do hire me. Please be willing to tell me if there was anything you wanted that you did not get. I want all my clients to be happy. Also note that this is a side gig so I usually send things back at end of weekend. Sometimes I might have other projects to finish up first before starting on new projects and will definitely make sure it works with your timeline. Most of my clients only budget to hire for 5-10 hours a week so it works out for both of us.

𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: $𝟭,𝟱𝟱𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬+.. 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲. 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆. 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁. 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚. 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 over 1,500 animated videos over 12 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 over 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, Edwards Lifesciences, Extreme Networks, FABTECH, Freund-Vector, Hines, MUZO Emeralds, NASA (NIAC), RAZER, Subzero Scientific, ThermoFisher 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.
