I am a Art Director and Founder with over 15 years of experience spanning branding, motion design, VFX, and post-production management. My proven expertise in bridging the gap between corporate objectives and creative execution, translating KPIs and SOWs into compelling visual narratives, detailed mood boards, and high-impact animations. Specializing in 3D motion design, I have managed and mentored small, high-performing teams, delivering award-winning work for major global clients including Intel, Disney, and Ubisoft. Adept at a full spectrum of design and post-production roles, from tech branding and web design to complex simulations for AAA games.
Our world is one of motion and brands should be no different, it's not enough to just have a well designed logo or product, it needs to move, video and motion is the language of the internet and brands need all their elements to be built not just for print or static ads but for a world in motion.
My skills fall into a niche of taking major and small brands and bringing them to life through motion. Handling both the design and strategy side as well as bringing said designs to life with animation in order to realize their potential in a modern marketplace.
