I am a graphics professional with 25 years of experience. I am solidly versed in a wide variety of graphic production processes and techniques, which I use to create solutions-driven content. Because of the needs of the Midwest marketplace, I have more than a decade of experience each in print, animation, and video production. I have expert competency in digital and traditional mediums, and in nearly every aspect of illustration and animation. In 3D animation I am a generalist, having worked with Lightwave 3d, Autodesk Maya, Maxxon Cinema 3d, and Blender 3d to create professional animation across industrial, medical, broadcast, character, and other areas. I am capable of completing every aspect of client projects from scriptwriting and storyboarding to modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting, rendering, and compositing. As a motion graphics designer, I am equally well versed and capable of working within complex brand guidelines or using client guidance alone.
