I am a freelance 2D/3D Motion Designer and Creative Director based out of Milwaukee, WI – available to work worldwide. I like weird comedy, wood working, plants, camping, and disc golf. I recently dropped my first NFT collection. In my spare time I enjoy making short films and camping. Mario Kart? I call Princess Peach! Did I mention I like to draw?
With 15 years experience as a motion designer working with premium brands in both professional agency and corporate environments, I am extremely confident in the post-production world. I am an organized individual, especially when it comes to asset management and project dependencies. After Effects (Element 3D, Trapcode, Red Giant), Cinema 4D (Redshift, X-Particles, Forester, Ornatrix), Figma, and Rive. As well as Premiere Pro, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Some of my favorite plugins include, Twixtor, True Comp Duplicator, and Motion 2.
I studied a cross-disciplinary major focusing on Film, Animation, and Computer Science while earning a BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I’m a nerd at the core, so my UX and programming past comes out when building projects.
My heart resides in animation, with a vibrant and whimsical style on 3D motion design. I got my start in animation early in the Flash MX days and have evolved to love motion graphics, compositing, and 3D. Brands I’ve worked with include Google, the NBA, Microsoft, T-Mobile, Samsung, and the NFL. Check out my latest case study to see my creative process.
Puget Systems recently upgraded my machine. With fast internet and efficient render capabilities, my workstation is ready to roll. When I’m not in the office, I utilize Parsec to remote in and check on renders. Here’s a look at my setup:
YouTube, usually. Some of my favorite content on YouTube comes from science experiments with William Osman, raw news reporting with Andrew Callaghan, VFX artists react with Corridor Crew, high-energy improvisation from Marc Rebillet, and Office Hours with Tim Heidecker.
I love discovering new artists and rediscovering the classics.
Genres I’m into? Electronic, hip-hop, bluegrass, jam-band (to name a few). Currently I’m shaking my butt to GOOSE, Classixx, Bag Raiders, Kendrick Lamar, Cory Wong and Billy Strings.
I also enjoy making curated playlists on Spotify. Listen to my “Whim Cycle” playlist here, or check out my profile for more jams.
