Motion Graphic Designer
San Francisco Bay Area
I am a motion graphics designer with experience in both freelance/consultant and agency environments. The work I have designed for has appeared in print, product design, broadcast, motion pictures, and interactive. I have won multiple international design awards and have been part of teams who have won global interactive awards. The work I prefer to do is innovative, creative, and conceptual. I am well-versed in the entire process from concept, through production, to delivery at every step of the way; breaking traditional design preconceptions.

At AKQA I have created motion graphics for clients such as Xbox, Nike, Target, and Visa. I am creatively involved from concept to completion in my roles as art director, animator, compositor, illustrator, and designer. I have experience in many formats including film and video, interactive, widgets, web page design, pitches, and more. I try my best to stay part of the process along all stages of design, learning and applying my skills and abilities wherever possible whether it be on interactive banner designs or big-budget, multiple-day location shoots with large post-production schedules.
