With over 10 years of experience in the creative trenches, I specialize in the intersection of high-end motion design and technical artistry. Since I was a kid I've loved the idea of a robot helper that can do things for me, so I try to automate solutions to problems whenever I can. From streamlining my own tools and workflows to scripting custom solutions for production bottlenecks, I’m obsessed with working hard on the technical side so that I can get the most bang for my buck on the creative side. In every project I aim to build systems and processes that help me make creative choices and iterate as fast as possible.
Beyond the keyframes, here are a few things I love:
Cinematic camera motion & abstract art.
Sound design that puts you inside of a film.
A meticulously documented Obsidian vault.
The rewarding (and punishing) difficulty of a Soulslike boss.
Modding an RPG until it’s basically a different game.
When I’m not organizing my life in Markdown, you can usually find me exploring a digital wasteland in an extraction shooter, hanging out with my wife Elyse, or trying to keep up with my dog, Indigo.
I’m currently based in the St. Louis area, helping brands and agencies bring their biggest ideas to life. My goal is to work with people who become friends while we make cool things together. I try to live by the words of my "dear friend" Michael Scott:
"Keep it Simple, Stupid." (Great advice - hurts my feelings every time)
