fun facts

I'm a Creative and Art Director with 24 years of experience shaping visual narratives across film, motion graphics, VFX, and digital media. I've spent the better part of two decades leading creative teams and guiding projects from rough concept through final delivery.

I take special pride in mentoring others, developing creative solutions to complex problems, and balancing ambition with real-world production constraints. I'm most at home doing a little bit of everything — and doing all of it with intention.

Away from client work, I gravitate toward problems that are entirely self-directed — no brief, just curiosity and whatever I happen to be deep into that month.

Creative Direction
Visual strategy, concept development, brand stewardship, and the kind of art direction that keeps a project coherent from first frame to final deliverable.
Motion Graphics
Title sequences, lower thirds, logo animation, abstract transitions, data visualization, map graphics, typographic systems.
Visual Effects
Green screen compositing, camera tracking, environment extensions, and CG integration into live-action and aerial footage.
Film & Editing
Narrative-driven editorial across documentary, promotional, and corporate formats — rough cut through final delivery, including sound and color.
Emerging Tools
Generative and procedural workflows, scripted expressions, real-time 3D environments, and a working knowledge of what's about to become standard.
Production Ops
Full-cycle pipeline management, multi-office coordination, on-set supervision, project tracking and resource planning across distributed teams.

01 /
Space & Physics
Cosmology, theoretical physics, and the general humbling experience of reading about things impossibly large and impossibly old.
02 /
Robotics & Electronics
Arduino, Raspberry Pi, RC vehicles. The satisfaction of making something move that wasn't moving before.
03 /
Making & Fabrication
Where digital ideas become physical objects — printed, cut, shaped, or assembled. The gap between screen and tangible thing is more interesting than it looks.
04 /
AI & Generative Media
Less interested in the hype cycle, more interested in what happens when you build your own pipelines from scratch and see where they break.
05 /
Music & Live Events
Lifelong enthusiast. Strong opinions about records, venues, setlists, and the irreplaceable thing that only happens in a room with other people.
06 /
Drawing & Illustration
Pencil and paper. The reminder that ideas start before the software does.
