I’m a multidisciplinary Creative Director, Motion Designer, and Visual Storyteller with 20+ years of experience shaping brands, launching content, and leading award-winning creative across TV, digital, social, and experiential platforms.
Half of my career has been spent inside global networks and studios like Discovery, HBO, NBCUniversal, and Viacom. The other half? As a trusted creative partner and freelance motion designer for production companies and clients including Apple Music and Skechers. I’ve led everything from animated docuseries and brand launches to title sequences, political campaigns, and AR installations.
Whether directing a team or getting hands-on with motion design, branding systems, or cinematic storytelling, I bring a deep respect for the craft, the audience, and the idea. I believe great creative starts with listening, thrives on research, and succeeds through collaboration.
I’m open to freelance gigs and full-time roles — especially with production studios, agencies, or content teams working at the intersection of design, technology, and storytelling.
