Available to hire
I build video departments and lead creative teams for enterprise software companies. Over 12 years, I’ve gone from hands-on producer to running full video operations — hiring teams, managing budgets, owning strategy, and shipping the work.
I’m as comfortable presenting to an executive team as I am animating in After Effects. Currently exploring interactive animation with Rive, because I believe real-time, interactive content is where this industry is heading.
