My background spans litigation, finance, and regulatory corporate environments + startup environments, where I’ve managed legal theory/research and ops for high-volume case pipelines, coordinated multi-party matters, and supported strategy through various structural needs. What differentiates my work is not just execution — it’s how I design and optimize the systems behind it. I’ve led and contributed to: • End-to-end legal workflow design (intake → evaluation → execution → tracking) • AI and automation integration across legal operations (including vendor tools and custom workflows) • Data structuring and case tracking systems (Airtable, CRM-style platforms, internal tooling) • E-discovery, litigation support, and regulatory compliance across SEC/FINRA matters • Cross-functional coordination between legal teams, analysts, and external stakeholders (including major financial institutions) I’m particularly experienced in building structure where it doesn’t exist — translating high-level legal or business goals into clear processes, timelines, and systems that teams can actually execute against. On the technical side, I regularly work with: • AI-assisted legal research tools (Westlaw, Lexis, emerging AI platforms) • Automation tools (Zapier, n8n, API-based workflows) • Case management & e-discovery platforms (Relativity, CS Disco, Clio) • Data and ops tools (Airtable, Google Workspace, Slack workflow systems) Whether you need: • Litigation support at scale • A smarter intake / case evaluation pipeline • AI integration into your legal workflows • Someone to own and operationalize legal processes end-to-end • Targeted legal research and one-off tasking support (case law analysis, motion or research support, regulatory research, issue spotting) —I bring both the experience/education lens and execution capability to get it done.

A note from a satisfied client-- “I had the pleasure of working with Glenn on a motion graphics project that had to be done very quickly—and very well. I was not disappointed. Glenn proved himself to be the perfect craftsman for the job, bringing a strong skill set along with initiative and imagination. He is talented, fast, communicates clearly, and was a genuine godsend on a difficult assignment.” —Chris Healey, DonerCX I’m a motion graphics and digital media artist with over 15 years of experience, specializing in explainer videos, SaaS and UI animations, visual storytelling, and problem-solving for real-world creative challenges. I work fluently across the Adobe Creative Cloud—After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator—and expert-level Rive and Lottie animation for interactive, lightweight, real-time motion design on the web and in apps. I’ve collaborated with clients ranging from large corporations to individual creators, producing motion graphics, titles, logos, explainers, demo videos, stadium graphics, and music videos for a wide range of industries nationwide. I focus on sharp, smart, well-crafted motion design that communicates effectively and looks great doing it. As a freelancer, I manage projects end-to-end—from concept, design, and storyboarding through art direction, animation, kinetic typography, and effects. I’m known for clear communication, creative thinking, and the ability to quickly learn and apply new tools and techniques (Rive included). I also bring experience working within post-production and production-house environments, where speed, collaboration, and precision matter. That background gives me a strong understanding of creative pipelines, deadlines, and how to work efficiently within client guidelines and evolving direction. Storytelling runs through everything I do. Over the past eight years, I’ve also worked as a professional storyteller, sharpening my writing, presentation, and pitching skills. Crafting customized stories for diverse audiences has strengthened my client relationships and my ability to translate ideas into compelling visual narratives. What I love most about creative work is that it never stands still. Each project brings new challenges, new styles, and new ideas to explore. It’s not about repeating the same solutions—it’s about finding the right one for what comes next.
