I'm an animator with 10+ years of film and video production experience, and 5+ years specifically in post-production--specifically editing, VFX and motion design. I work primarily in 2D with After Effects, also using Animate (Flash) and Photoshop for cel animation. In addition to animation for video, I use Bodymovin/Lottie within Ae to produce custom web and app animations. I have worked with studios, ad agencies and direct-to-client to create TV commercials, web content, recruiting videos and corporate messaging for brands including Facebook, QuickBooks, Briggs & Stratton, Blue Cross Blue Shield and others. I'm also available for 3D animation and texturing, but if you have a need for extensive modeling you're probably better off finding a 3D specialist. My day rate is $650, but oftentimes for remote and decentralized projects a project rate is more appropriate. Those terms are worked out on a per-project basis based on need and scope. I studied film and animation at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which is consistently ranked among the best film schools both in the US and worldwide.
