I’m a remote-first Senior Motion Graphics Designer with 30+ years’ experience in graphic design and 16+ years delivering 2D motion with a dash of 3D across brand, explainer, training, social, presentation and campaign work.

I’m a ‘learniac’—always testing new processes, designs and tools as they emerge to speed up and improve results and creativity.…
