I have over 15 years of experience as an animator, motion designer, video editor, and all-around content creator. I’ve worked with LEGO, McDonald’s, Microsoft/XBox, Facebook and many other global brands, creating branded animated shorts for social campaigns. I’ve animated for Sesame Street, Amazon’s Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street, Amazon’s Streaming IRL, Court TV’s Accomplice to Murder, and was a finalist for Project Greenlight Digital for an original series. I’ve created educational animations for a permanent exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, and animated comedic pilot projects for Spike TV and Comedy Central, working with Larry Charles, Woody Harrelson, Charlize Theron, and other voice acting legends. I create content from the initial concept through the final edit. I animate in a 2D style using Toonboom Harmony and After Effects, and have two years of experience incorporating AI tools like Midjourney, Dall-E, and Eleven Labs into my workflow to accomplish more on my own. In the last three years, I’ve led an incredible team on over 60 unique video projects, each with their own design language and style. Our team hit every deadline, and never went over budget. I listened to my team’s feedback to constantly tinker and improve our workflow. And ultimately we brought down the total average cost per video project by over 60%. I am always on the lookout for a next great project!
