Available to hire
I am a Creative Art Director with managerial experience leading small teams across motion and static design, pitch decks, and style frames. I thrive in collaborative environments but am equally capable of delivering solo work, always chasing the latest tools and techniques in AI, 2D/3D motion graphics, VFX, and postproduction.
My background spans the music and electronics industries, where I contributed to episodic graphics, branding, and immersive exhibit experiences. I mentor teammates in workflows and techniques, and I relish opportunities to explore new technology like particle simulations and data-driven graphics.
