Designer & Production Artist / Motion Artist / Content Producer
I create story telling Digital Content using traditional and digital drawing, design and animation skills. I do this to communicate effective messaging for my clients and employers.
I’ve held supervisory roles at large companies and serviced Fortune 500 companies. I've led small teams at companies like Disney, Viacom, Clear Channel and more.
I’ve also run my own freelance business, which allows me to bring a "client services" mindset to the my employers. This means I treat my employers as paying clients who expect results. My years in the communications design field means I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to whomever decides to leverage my talents. I am comfortable conceptualizing and executing whole campaigns from scratch to completion or just generating production art as needed; in other words, I can be a leader or be a very easy going team player.
