About

I've spent more than a decade making motion design, freelance and full time, out of Brooklyn. These days I'm a senior motion designer and technical artist at JPMorgan Chase.

01Range

Billboards, the Vegas Sphere, broadcast commercials, major label music videos, and full Netflix series.

02Teams

I've led teams and been part of them, both freelance and in-house.

03Clients

Framestore, Mathematic, Trollback, Story Syndicate, McCann, Edelman, and countless smaller startups and production houses.

AI Usage

AI is an exciting technology, and it's worth using ethically and responsibly. I treat it as a productivity tool, and I find new ways to work it into my process almost every day.

01Ideation

I use it to move through a lot of ideas quickly, so I can see what's going to work and why before I commit time to it.

02Custom tools

I build software for specific problems, from simple Python scripts that organize and verify large data sets to a full UI app that parses brand guidelines, which is very important in my current role.

03Exploration

I use it to try things I've never built before, like video games and websites.
