Please get in touch to discuss a possible project. I mostly work directly with in-house marketing & creative teams on strategy and production of animated content. A typical timeline would be 3-6 weeks.

What is my most memorable RGD moment?
At DesignThinkers 2018, I had 10 minutes to speak on-stage in front of 1000+ people, right before graphic design legend Michael Bierut. No pressure.My talk was a candid exposé of working remotely and a middle-finger takedown of today's full-time office culture. Every single slide was an original looping animation—most featuring the unignorable word “F*CK.”
Michael Bierut followed me on Twitter after! So I followed him back.
Why should you hire me?
"Less eye candy, more brain food." As an independent motion design consultant, close collaboration with your team is vital to utilize your valuable experience and insight. You know your goals and audience, and I know how to use the motion design to reach them. By working together as a focused collaborative team, there are no hours wasted pursuing uninformed directions, or playing agency telephone—the result is killer motion design at a great value.Contributions to RGD
