Skills

I am an award-winning Creative Director and Motion Designer whose work lives at the intersection of fine art, technology, and Storytelling.

​

After earning my Fine Arts degree from UC Berkeley, I stepped into the

fast-paced world of commercial post-production, where I have spent nearly

two decades mastering my craft. Over the years, I have worn many hats — Set

Supervisor, Director, Art Director, 2D & 3D Motion Designer, Compositor, and

Creative Director — each role adding new layers to my creative vision and

technical expertise.

​

Blending fine art, mixed media, and digital design, I approaches every

project with a wide creative spectrum and a relentless drive to innovate. My

portfolio includes collaborations with some of the world’s most iconic brands

— Apple, Adobe, Nike, Honda, BMW, Google, Amazon, and many more.

 

At the core of my work is a passion for storytelling — crafting emotionally

resonant experiences, building meaningful connections, and continually pushing

creative boundaries to deliver work that leaves a lasting impact.
