I have spent decades creating animations, immersive visuals, and compelling video content for television, sports, and corporate clients using Maya, Lightwave, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and more. I love helping clients stay visible and ahead of the competition through engaging, on-brand visuals. Samples of my work can be found here: Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup
