I currently work as a freelance motion designer. Before that, I was the in-house motion designer and video editor for Matterport, a 3D camera company, creating videos for social media, the company’s website, and other applications. Prior, I was a senior designer, video editor, and motion designer for M Financial Group in Portland, OR. I have leveraged my 10+ years of professional experience in graphic design to shift my focus primarily to video and motion work. In that time, I have done fully animated explainer videos, sizzle videos, and traditional interviews. Previously, I have worked for brands including Nike, Subway, and Modelo. I’ve created everything from printed graphics and posters to emails, websites, and other digital assets. Additionally, I also have a degree in journalism, which is where my love of communicating and telling stories began. I am a good fit for the role as my experience leading design teams, as well as my business projects, have taught me how to effectively manage successful projects while being able to deliver high-quality content. My additional skills in social media marketing and photography/videography make me a solid asset to any team. **Employment and project experience** Motion Designer - Matterport 2022 - 2023 Senior Interactive Designer - M Financial Group 2019 - 2022 Co-Founder Blue Envelope Productions 2017 - 2021 Design Manager - eROI 2014 - 2018 Graphic Designer - Upshot 2012 - 2014
