I’m an animation director and animator based in Calgary, Canada, with 11+ years in the industry. After 4 years as an art director at an advertising agency, I moved into motion design — and eventually found my true focus: stop motion animation.
Stop motion is a craft that demands patience, vision, and a human touch — qualities that feel increasingly rare in a world saturated with AI-generated imagery. That’s exactly what makes it powerful. When a brand embraces stop motion, it signals something different: craft, character, and a genuine human presence that competitors relying on digital shortcuts simply can’t replicate.
It’s also more versatile than people expect. I’ve brought stop motion to utility brands, beer companies, marketing conferences, nonprofits, and libraries — the range of applications is genuinely wide.
I take every project from concept through to final delivery, giving you a single point of contact and a cleaner, simpler production process.
