We find our hero. . .

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I grew up surrounded by technology, creativity, and just enough chaos to make things interesting. I spent most of my time either in front of a screen watching movies I was probably too young for, or outside with friends inventing games that relied heavily on imagination and a complete disregard for being cool.

I moved to North Texas during high school, where I discovered two things: boredom—and 3D animation. One of those stuck.

I returned to San Francisco to study Animation at the Academy of Art University, where I earned my BFA and briefly adopted a pretentious art school demeanor (since retired).

After graduating, I began my career as a freelance motion designer—largely because, according to the CIA, I lack the qualifications for international espionage.

While freelancing, I co-founded a motion graphics studio with two partners. Over three years, we built a business, created a wide range of work, and learned a lot—about clients, collaboration, and what it takes to run a creative operation. It made me sharper, more experienced, and just self-aware enough to know where I can be better.

Eventually, I moved to New York City to dive deeper into commercial and film work—and to experience seasons. (They live up to the hype.)

Over the years, I’ve worked across nearly every part of the production pipeline: grip & electric, stop-motion fabrication, traditional and 3D animation, and both 2D and 3D motion design. That range gives me a practical understanding of how ideas move from concept to final frame—and how to make that process smoother for everyone involved.

Lately, I’ve been focused on expanding into writing and directing—building on that foundation with the goal of telling stronger, more intentional stories.

If you’re looking to make something thoughtful, weird, or just really well-crafted, we’ll probably get along.
