Is a NY-based, award-winning 2D/3D Motion Designer, Creative Director, and Team Leader with a hands-on approach, working at the intersection of advertising, entertainment, and technology for global brands, streaming platforms, and AI-driven startups.

​

I specialize in motion design and my creative director experience gives me an edge, it lets me approach motion design with a clear vision and a focus on the big picture. I understand the full production cycle, which helps me work faster, smoother, and more strategically. Whether it’s a Super Bowl spot, a global keynote, a motion system, or a film title sequence, I aim to create work that’s sharp, conceptually strong, built to perform, and delivered on time, on budget, and with a little luck...timeless.

​

Over the years, I’ve been lucky to lead or design for numerous Fortune 100 companies. I love making a creative impact across every sector, and my early 3D work with Motorola and Digitas helped shape user-first digital experiences and contributed to the evolution of "cinematic scrolling" through MotoMakerX, which I still feel has been my biggest impact. These days, “cinematic scrolling” shows up as a built-in feature in nearly every web design app.

​

I enjoy mentoring and collaborating with teams, but truthfully, I often prefer working solo, things can move faster that way. Lately, I’ve developed a real love for building motion systems. Something is rewarding about using animation and symbolism to tell a brand’s story, and seeing how it scales across platforms.

I’m also passionate about keeping up with the latest tools and workflows. Watching AI evolve has been exciting, and I’ve found ways to integrate it into my own workflow.

​

My core values are rooted in craft, passion, and meaningful work. I aim to create work that looks great and resonates (when the time allows for it). I’ve also learned that the best teams thrive on mutual respect, honesty, inclusion, and a shared drive to build something bigger than any one person.

Thanks for reading this far.
